I dont think that is the issue with Clark. For her base salary, she is hamstrung by the current CBA. Her ability to put asses in seats and eyeballs to screen is pretty established. Her last three games shattered attendance records.
There was a legitimate concern that the popularity increase was due to it being the college game, but her WNBA draft drew 3.09 MM viewers which is way more than last year or the record viewership ( the Taurus draft). She is likely to earn her employer more than her salary ESPN

But more than first-pick rookie in the NBA? Because they seem to be arguing that she should be getting a salary comparable to that male player.
Per above, in any case, I suspect that her endorsement income will relegate her salary check to the petty cash drawer.

isn't that basically any employee at any successful business?

And when the cba ends they can negotiate better terms. If Clark, Reese, the PG from UCONN, etc are the faces and bring in more views/fans, they have more bargaining power. That we will see. Until then, the salary was set from years pf a league stuggling for viewers. Maybe it will change and if it does, Clark etc will all make more.
