Rumors

No Iowa women’s basketball player will wear No. 22 again. That is because, on Feb. 2, the Hawkeyes will retire Caitlin Clark’s jersey during an in-arena ceremony as Iowa takes on USC at Carver-Hawkeye Arena. Over her four years with the program, Clark rewrote both the Iowa and NCAA record books. Last winter, she became the all-time women’s NCAA Division I scoring leader, major college scoring leader and all-time Division I men’s and women’s scoring champion in a 17-day span. During her career, Clark also broke the record for 3-pointers in a single season, made two national championship appearances, was a four-time AP All-American and was twice named the National Player of the Year.

One of the BIG3 co-founders believes Caitlin Clark’s agents withheld the lucrative offer the league made to the former Iowa star. BIG3 CEO Jeff Kwatinetz wrote an opinion piece that was published by OutKick on Wednesday. In the piece, Kwatinetz revealed details of the offer the BIG3 basketball league made to Clark. He says the BIG3’s offer to Clark included $10 million over two years, a percentage of team ownership, a 50 percent revenue share on merchandise containing her name and likeness, and ownership of a BIG3 documentary with a seven-figure advance.
