This week’s College Gameday featuring Caitlin Clarkwas its most-watched episode this season & most-watched October episode EVER
The Caitlin Clark Effect
Quotes from Fever GM Amber Cox's extended comments on Caitlin Clark (beginning at the 11:40 mark):
"(Caitlin) remains the tipping point. You look at the ratings, you look at the full buildings -- that started in 2024 when she came into the league. That is because of Caitlin Clark. That does not take anything away from anyone who's come before her, or still playing, or has worked in the league ... the build was slow, and then Caitlin Clark arrived, and the floodgates opened."
"She deserves her flowers. We need to say it more often, and I'm going to say it every time you put a mic in front of my face: thank you to Caitlin Clark."
The Caitlin 1 is largest signature shoe launch in Nike's history, according to Nike CEO Elliott Hill
The Caitlin Clark Effect shows no signs of slowing down
Even Rebecca and Ryan had something to say about THESE WHISTLES 😅😉 my point has been proven these whistles (marginal contact foul calls) are getting out of hand !
Last comment I’ll make about this (and I know I’m already lying 😂), but the fact that the WNBA has said *nothing* about the A’ja Wilson incident is very on brand for the league.
Gotta grow up at some point.
The WNBA is currently scrambling to have accounts that have the Wilson clip taken down… they don’t want to enforce the rules so they want to pretend like it never happened. LMAO okay.
OCTOBER 1 IS ALMOST HERE!!!!! 💙 Hope you all love the Caitlin 1 + clothing as much as I loved creating them with @Nike !! This is only the beginning of what we have coming😏
I hope y'all understand, Vegas Game 3 in Vegas is going to be World War 3.
This is going to be A'Ja, Jackie and Chelsea playing for their playoffs lives. So everything Caitlin did tonight, she has to do it again and better, and her teammates have to help more than they can.
