Yes. Clark will retire at 35 and never have to work another day. Lots of sponsorship money in her present and fututre.
She doesn't need to play until she's 35.....she's already worth millions.

Why not play in the NBA? She could earn millions there.

A UPS driver makes $175,000 a year. About an $100,000 more than Caitlin Clark. Supply and demand.
Are UPS drivers also repping soft drinks, making State Farm commercials, going on late night television, and making 8 figures from side gigs. About $8.25M more than a UPS driver?

Compensation =\= wage. According to the UPS website, hourly rate starts at $21 and caps at $44. Equating to roughly $90k /year assuming standard 40hr work week.
Now there are UPS drivers who work overtime which certainly increases pay, however, it's an important caveat. I wouldn't take a job paying $200k /year at 80 hours per week vs $140k / year at 40 hours per week.
Also, compensation - when touted by an employer - often includes 401k match, healthcare, etc. Those aren't wages but are valuable. But you can't compare 'compensation' for one job against 'salary' of another. That is, unless you have an agenda you're trying to push - which looks to be the case.

Clark has a bad agent. She will bring in much more than $76,000 to the Indiana Fever.
The top four WNBA picks all earn the same amount in their first year. That's their rule and that's the future. You will own nothing and be happy.

No way that is all she earns. Maybe that's her base salary but Warren Buffet's base salary was $1 for a long time and no idiot thinks that is what he makes or is worth. She will make 7 figures at least, bet on it.

Pretty good on your part - with the Teamsters agreement - a driver will earn about $120,000 and another $50,000 in benefits. You pretty much nailed it - good job.

She's lucky there is a league. A UPS driver doesn't make $175,000 a year by the way, that's another lie the deceptive media told you to rile people up. After 4 years a UPS package car driver hits top rate, that's $40 or $41 an hour now. It's closer to $100,000 a year. First year drivers make like $22 or $23 an hour, it goes up from there until top rate. However, the benefits are top notch. The best health/dental/vision you can get, unless you're in the government. Pension. 401K. Vacation. Option days. It's a very hard job too. First you have to work (survive) part time at UPS for (maybe) years before getting the opportunity to drive. Unloading/loading trucks for a few years for low pay. Then when you become a driver you don't have much of a life. Ever see a UPS driver out there after 5 P.M.? Me too. The divorce rate for UPS drivers is high, you're never home. Pro basketball player is a picnic compared to driving that big brown truck.

Yet, Clark was making much less at Iowa, especially considering she was an in-state student. Meanwhile the Iowa women's basketball coach makes $1.4m a year!

You are totally wrong - I had this discussion my sister - the CEO of UPS said UPS drivers make $170,000. Please don't doubt me.

The Caitlin Clark experience delivered another television milestone as ESPN's coverage of the WNBA draft on Monday night averaged a record 2.45 million viewers.
Viewership peaked at 3.09 million, ESPN said in a release Tuesday.
The audience was more than four times as many viewers when compared to the 2023 draft, which drew 572,000. The previous draft record was 601,000 in 2004, when UConn's Diana Taurasiwent No. 1 overall.

Caitlin Clark, the No. 1 overall pick in the 2024 WNBA Draft to the Indiana Fever, turned heads on Monday night when she walked the orange carpet in style with a full outfit from Prada.
The designer threads certainly weren’t cheap either.
Prada has never dressed anyone for the NBA or WNBA Draft until Monday night when Clark showed up most likely knowing she was heading to the Fever as the first overall pick following her illustrious college career at Iowa.
Business Insider saw the photos from the orange carpet appearance by Clark and determined her Prada outfit, including accessories, was worth almost $17,000.
First, Clark donned an embroidered rhinestone mesh crop top ($3,750), which was under a satin shirt ($5,500) and paired with a double satin miniskirt ($1,750). On her feet were black brushed leather slingback pumps that go for $1,200.

This is correct. The NBA subsidizes the wnba.

I doubt you. These posters respond with facts which you have not refuted.

Yes, but I expect she will play until 35 anyway. Its a fun game to play.
