Caitlin Clark is already eyeing life after the WNBA as she prepares for her sophomore season.
Winning Rookie of the Year off the back of her record-breaking college career was a dream start to life as a pro.
With attendance and viewership flourishing thanks to Clark‘s massive fanbase, women’s basketball is going from strength to strength.
The Indiana Fever superstar sat down with iconic talk show host David Letterman on Netflix to discuss her career so far and revealed that she has big plans for the future.
“I think I’ll always be involved in sports because that’s what I love,” Clark said.
“I think once I’m done playing professional basketball — hopefully I have a long career — I’m not gonna still want to be on the sideline, probably.
“Maybe I’ll be up in a suite. Maybe I’ll be like a general manager or something fun like that, I don’t know.”
Letterman immediately drew comparisons to NFL great Tom Brady, who turned his on-field success into $375 million deal with Fox Sports and purchased a minority stake in the Las Vegas Raiders.
“This brings to mind Tom Brady,” he noted. “He’s doing color for Fox on NFL games, and you think, ‘No, Tom’.
“And by the way he’s pretty good, but let’s set our sights a little higher, maybe.”
Clark admitted that there is plenty of temptation to follow a similar path.
“Well, that paycheck he’s getting is pretty nice,” she added. “He owns the Raiders too, that’s not too bad. He’s just doing it all.”
