Caitlin Clark pull a surprising next move helping Indiana Fever end 7-year playoff drought which worth $88.5 million.
The broadcast schedule for Fever already makes Caitlin Clark’s potential effect clear.
Caitlin Clark has not yet received an official Indiana Fever membership. However, glancing at the WNBA team’s broadcast schedule for the 2024 season, you wouldn’t know that.
Clark was a must-see TV throughout her incredible NCAA career at Iowa. She is predicted to be taken by the Fever with the first overall choice in the WNBA draft on Monday. She participated in a number of women’s basketball games that broke attendance records, such as Iowa’s 87-75 loss to South Carolina in the national championship, which had an average audience of 18.7 million viewers.
With an eye toward building on that momentum, the Fever have scheduled 36 of their 40 games for national television this summer. That’s ten games on ABC, ESPN, ESPN2, and CBS, according to reporter Scott Agness. That’s one more nationally televised game than the WNBA champion Las Vegas Aces earned back-to-back.
The Fever, who concluded the 2023 season with a 13–27 record—the second-worst in the WNBA—won the draft lottery in December.
Along with 2023 No. 1 pick Aliyah Boston, Clark will probably be charged with ending Indiana’s playoff skid, which dates back to 2017.
