Count Hoda Kotb and Jenna Bush Hager among the many people upset by the low salary Caitlin Clark will earn in the WNBA. Clark, the former University of Iowa sensation who took her team to back-to-back NCAA Tournament championship games, was the No. 1 overall pick in the 2024 WNBA draft by the Indiana Fever on April 15. Her four-year contract is worth a total of $338,056, per Spotrac, a site that tracks player contracts. In 2024, she’ll earn $76,535.
She helped shatter the record for highest-rated women's college basketball game in history, and her team's national championship game against the University of South Carolina drew more viewers than the men's title game, marking the first time that has ever happened. Hoda said Clark has brought women’s basketball to a new level of popularity, but she won't reap much financial benefit for it with her WNBA contract.
