Iowa Hawkeyes standout Caitlin Clark has received a lucrative offer from Big3 co-founder Ice Cube to compete in the 8-game regular season for $5 million. Ice Cube confirmed the offer on social media, praising Clark as a generational athlete who can achieve great success in the league. He emphasized the importance of providing American women athletes with more professional options domestically rather than having to play overseas to make ends meet. Clark and the Hawkeyes have been drawing historic viewership numbers in the women’s NCAA tournament, with their games being some of the most-watched in the tournament. Their upcoming game against the Colorado Buffaloes in the Sweet 16 is highly anticipated. Ice Cube’s offer to Clark is seen as a groundbreaking opportunity for women athletes and a step towards providing them with more opportunities to showcase their talent. The support and recognition shown to Clark by Ice Cube and Big3 may help pave the way for more female athletes to have professional options in the US.
