Clark basically doubles the ratings of other women's tournament games.

The sport isn't "growing" and all these media people piggybacking on Clark and acting like everyone loves WCBB now.

She's a thing of the moment, cult of personality.

I wish she'd tell the WNBA to frick off and see their ratings stay in the dumpster after all these WNBA players have been dismissing her and her effect and dumping on her...especially those former UConn bitches.

The sport is growing but the media attempting to manufacture the following will end up hurting the sport. This thread is an example.

Tons of people actively despise the WNBA because of it being pushed down their throat. Otherwise, it would be tolerated and its organic growth could occur (whatever that potential is).

I do agree that the womens college game will take a pretty big step back next year.

I mean have you seen the ratings of all the non-Iowa tournament games? It's obvious that WBB is growing. Caitlin is by far the biggest draw, but more people are paying attention to the sport as a whole than before.

The NBA Finals were tape delay in the late 70s but the massive interest in the Bird-Magic rivalry that started in college changed things.

Not saying that Clark will turn the WNBA into the NBA but if she is still able to put up huge scoring numbers it's going to give the league a decent bump.

On the other hand, if she's anything less than an All Star that interest will likely evaporate w/quickness.

The sport is absolutely growing. There were record numbers last tournament that continued into this years. Clark isn’t the only draw. There are several big names still & tons of interesting storylines/questions going into next season.
