Despite Caitlin Clark's record-breaking performance on Iowa's team in the NCAA and the energy that she’s generated for the sport, Clark’s base salary will be $76,535 as a rookie. In the NBA, meanwhile, the first draft pick is expected to make roughly $10.5 million in base salary their first year.
Needless to say, sexism in sports is rampant.
