Caitlin Clark, the top scorer in the history of major college women’s basketball announced that she is ending her collegiate career with the Iowa Hawkeyes at the end of the season, and going pro.
Clark is projected to go to the Indiana Fever in the WNBA draft in April as the league’s overall No. 1 pick. She is a 22-year-old senior who could have played another season under an NCAA waiver for athletes who were on rosters when the pandemic hit in 2020.
The Hawkeyes have one regular-season game left—against No. 2 Ohio State on Sunday at home. Ticket prices are setting their own record, averaging $546 on the secondary market as of Thursday.
If Clark scores 18 points on Sunday, she’ll break the all-time Division I scoring record of 3,667 points. It’s held by the late Pete Maravich of LSU, who played 83 games from 1967 to 1970.
