'It's Like Minor League Football Now' - Caitlin Clark Compares NIL and Transfer Portal Chaos to NFL Free Agency
Caitlin Clark is one of the most influential athletes to emerge from college sports in recent years. After her stellar career playing women’s basketball for the Iowa Hawkeyes, she became a WNBA star, selected No. 1 overall in 2024 by the Indiana Fever.
Clark appeared on Jason and Travis Kelce’s New Heights podcast and expressed her strong opinion on the current state of the college football transfer portal.
The NIL and transfer portal era has divided opinion. Whether it’s fans, broadcasters, analysts, or athletes, everyone has an opinion on its impact on the sport. Clark has become the latest to share her thoughts, appearing on the New Heights podcast, where she sat down with the Kelces to express the current state of college sports and potential solutions.
Clark, the WNBA Rookie of the Year, didn’t hold back, either. She responded to NFL insider Adam Schefter’s report about a player negotiating a new deal to stay at his university, saying, “It’s like, yeah, where else is he going to go? It’s crazy.”
