Caitlin Clark's Nike Deal Reportedly Worth Staggering Amount Of Money

Caitlin Clark reportedly is making a stunning amount of money from Nike.

Clark was officially taken first overall by the Indiana Fever in the WNBA Draft earlier in the week, and her star is shining brighter than ever before.

There's also been plenty of chatter about the fact her rookie deal is worth $338,056 over four years. It's pennies compared to what NBA rookies earn, and the reason why is simple. The NBA makes money. The WNBA does not.

However, Clark is making serious money off the court.

All of a sudden, Clark's WNBA salary doesn't mean much at all. It's just an afterthought, and that was always going to be the case.

Her money was always going to come from endorsements, and landing a Nike deal worth more than $20 million is widely impressive. It goes to show just how much she moves the needle.

Not just in women's basketball, but overall. She had people watching Iowa games who otherwise never would have watched women's college basketball. Her appeal is unprecedented in the women's game.

Nike is now attempting to capitalize on that with a massive shoe deal. This is America, and in this country we celebrate capitalism. Let me know your thoughts at David.Hookstead@outkick.com.
