Caitlin Clark, the standout player for Iowa women's basketball, is on the verge of breaking the NCAA all-time scoring record, previously held by Pete Maravich. Her final regular-season home game against Ohio State is drawing unprecedented attention, with ticket prices soaring to over $1,001 for front-row seats, reflecting the high demand. This game is not only significant for its potential record-breaking moment but also for its impact on women's basketball, evidenced by the dramatic increase in ticket sales and betting activity surrounding NCAA women's basketball games featuring Clark, with a 14x increase in handle and a 13x increase in the number of bets year over year. Her popularity and influence extend beyond the court, as seen in the surge in Indiana Fever ticket offices' activity following her announcement to enter the WNBA draft. Clark's journey has been likened to a 'Redemption Year,' drawing comparisons to Taylor Swift's career trajectory and earning her accolades such as being called the 'Taylor Swift of College Basketball.' Her impact is felt across the sport, with WNBA teams experiencing a bump in ticket sales and sportsbooks noting a significant increase in bets placed on women's college basketball games.
