Iowa guard, Caitlin Clarke, is not only a star Iowa women’s basketball player, but also a star at cashing in on NIL money, raking in hundreds of thousands of dollars a year. However, as she looked at her post-college future, Clarke realized that the longer she stretches out her “amateur” career, the more money she will make. 

To keep the money flowing, Clarke is planning to re-enroll in her West Des Moines high school and play boys basketball. When boys varsity basketball players were contacted for comment about Clarke joining the team, the most common response was, “Who?” followed by, “Is she hot?” and “What’s her OnlyFans hashtag?” 

When asked what she would do if she did not make the boys team, she responded, “Then I’ll just take the pay cut and be a superstar in the WNBA like Tina Thompson or Cappie Poindexter.” When asked for a WNBA star that people might recognize, she suggested, “Brittney Griner, you know, the one who tried to smuggle her stash into a police state.” 

When West Des Moinians were asked about their feelings on having a girl on a boys basketball team, most just shrugged and walked away, since no one cares if girls play on a boys’ team.
