Message: [QUOTE="TN-Gamecock, post: 4859172, member: 13152"] I'm pulling for her to stay the extra year in IOWA. She is the reason all of those arenas in the B10 are selling out when she plays in them. I saw her rookie card on EBAY at 30K. I hope she becomes the first woman sports figure to reach 1 billion in net worth. I know she cannot make it playing basketball just like Jordan didn't. It was the endorsements that he that helped him to become a billionaire. I think she should take her time and everything she puts her name on, on the back of, in appearances and in being a basketball player or speaking should command a huge price tag. If she's the reason for the sellout of arenas, I think she should ask for some of the gate receipts. Certainly, in the WNBA if she raises the awareness, ticket sales, viewership, etc why should she not be highly compensated? It was Jordan and Bird that made the NBA what it was back in the day and both were well paid. Before those two, the NBA finals were boring at best. There is no other basketball player college or pro right now that is bigger than Catlin Clark. [/QUOTE]
