I mean I guess.  They could always live off campus, have bodyguards (Clark probably already needs that) and take underwater basket weaving. 

But I hear you, if I was young and had millions there would be no way on Earth I would want to sit in another college class and be treated like I am 2. 

I'm not 100% certain on this but I feel like a lot of basketball teams have policies about athletes living off campus etc.  I could be wrong, but that comes to mind for some reason. 

I said a while ago, maybe in this thread, maybe another, that if the Big3 offer was not too shaky that she should take it.   After hearing her post game comments at the end of the tourney and hearing what others have said about her impact, I've reversed field.   She needs to go to the WNBA.  Her being there helps to lend more credibility to the league.   The Big3 will always be what it is, a gimmick.   For the women's game to grow, the stars need to be in the right spots.

Obviously I/we don't know don't know how the money works.

To me it is simple, if I can make more staying in college I am staying, if not, on to the WNBA.  And I don't want to see her go to the Big3 because it will be a huge problem and we all know it. 

Diana Taursi's dislike of Clark is borderline psychotic. Asked who she'd draft with first pick, without hesitation named the star from UConn. Taurasi has also said Clark won't do anything when she faces full grown women in the WNBA, they'll shut her down.

Indeed, it is real. In her tenure the chances WNBA salaries catch up to what she could earn in another college basketball season is unlikely. But I think of this as the Tiger Woods long-game effect. When Tiger got on tour, some of the top guys were making in a year what they now make per tournament.

Right and I have to figure she can make up for it in endorsements.  I would think a lot of the corporations would love to jump on the bandwagon. 

And I sure hope she gets drafted by the Fever.  Two hours from my house and I can probably sit close and watch for a reasonable price.
