  1. I think Caitlin Clark will have a significant impact in narrowing WNBA pay inequity in the same way that the success of Women’s national team did for pay equity in soccer. That said, I don’t think thar a first pick in the WNBA well make the same amount that a NBA first pick makes simply because of fewer games, lower average attendance, and broadcast packages. But the current gross inequity will narrow. And that’s a very good thing.

    1. @Michael – I think you’re right and it takes a player of Clark’s star power to get the ball rolling. WNBA has slowly be on the uptick here in recent years so I think she, and the explosion of women’s college basketball interest overall, will help accelerate that positive momentum. Thanks for reading!
