While I understand that women’s college basketball is hot on so many levels right now, this move by Cube makes zero sense. First, why Caitlin Clark of all people, when you could spread that money out and help a bunch of female basketball players. Yeah, Caitlin’s the most talked about women’s athlete on the planet, but talents like Angel Reese and Juju Watkins aren’t far behind in both skill and popularity. In other words this stinks of a PR move by Cube. Then too is the fact a lot of women basketball players on the collegiate level and pro level (esp. the black one’s) are going to be screaming ‘Why not me?’ and when you consider the amount of money most of them make, they have every right to be upset. And $5M for just 8 games?!? Why not just start a female version of the BIG3 instead, if you’re really ballin’ like that. Cube, I’m a little disappointed in you.
