It has been predicted that Caitlin Clark will leave the WNBA and lead a new league with some of the top women’s basketball players. With her involvement in the WNBA generating more attention than ever before, Clark has swiftly become one of America’s most prominent athletes.
She won Rookie of the Year in a vote that was almost unanimous, capping up her stellar rookie season with the Indiana Fever. Clark received 66 of 67 votes from a nationwide panel of sportswriters and sportscasters, while Chicago Sky forward Angel Reese received the other vote.
According to American sports commentator Jason Whitlock, Clark would be smart to capitalise on her celebrity status by launching a new league that competes with the WNBA.

WNBA star Sue Bird’s remarks speak for themselves, proving that the Caitlin Clark effect is genuine.

“Half of the WNBA right now is overseas, playing in some foreign league because they don’t make enough money during the WNBA season,” Whitlock stated on his Fearless program.
“They already compete in different leagues. Why not create a competition league? There are two types of rival leagues: one that operates in the summer and the other that begins right here in America. Saudi Arabia will be the one to do this, I’ll tell you.
“They are able to observe whatI see. Caitlin Clark and women’s basketball have a lot of momentum, man. The individuals in charge of the NBA and WNBA, Adam Silver and Cathy Engelbert, are complete moron. They have no idea how to make the most of Caitlin Clark’s gift.
Whitlock thinks a number of other WNBA players would be thrilled to follow Clark to a breakaway league so they could profit from the renewed interest in women’s basketball.
