Time for a Real Discussion About Caitlin Clark

First it was nobody outside of Iowa knows/cares about CC. Now it's well they don't watch the entire game. What's next?
You can’t snowball this, there’s a group of people that congratulate a milestone and all of a sudden you think Tom Brady and Beyoncé watch her games now? Do you really think these people reached out to ESPN and said hey….can you put me on a video to congratulate my favorite goat? Give me a break

Yeah I'm sure they secretly hate her. Lol.
 
I brought this up once with Shirley and I think Skoglund as well who got a lot of academic scholarships, and what I was told was they still count against the athletic scholarship count to avoid schools from just making up academic scholarships to give to athletes to then walk on to teams. I can't verify that is accurate, just what someone told me. I have to admit it does make sense.

Not sure about this but remember Eric Steyer was on a National Merit Scholarship as a walk-on. Also Doug McDermott's Senior year he was a walk-on since Greg paid his tuition to give another player that had been granted another year of eligibility.

I just think Obama chooses the words he uses in his tweets VERY carefully…. that’s all. He chose the word “scorer” for a very good reason no doubt.
Well he might want to check his facts. As others have pointed out, she is the highest scoring woman in NCAA history not all of women's basketball. Others have scored more.
 
This discussion is goofy AF. CC has made an imprint on female bb, like no other. Not debatable.
Imagine this discussion, if she'd signed on for BF.
Agreed. And because she’s made such a big imprint on female bb, her on court attitude/antics can be questioned. There are likely some girls who see CC complaining all the time to officials and think since CC does it, there’s nothing wrong if they do it, too. I would have the same feelings of her poor on court attitude if she signed with ISU.

And I don’t like it when any athlete, male or female, on any team, at any age, etc. complains about officiating.

So there is a legitimate discussion point about CC’s on court attitude. Just because a player is a star doesn’t mean they should be immune to people discussing their behavior
 
Really kinda surprised they didn’t rope off the area where she made the “historic shot” instead of putting small sticker on the floor.

Probably going to remove that section of floor after the season and Murph will drive it to the Smithsonian. Knowing Iowa’s great marketing dept., they will parade it around towns and charge people to have there pic taken with it.

Did they seriously put a sticker on the floor where she took that shot? If so, that is truly pathetic.
