Caitlin Clark says she heard about the Big3 offer on social media but focus is on Iowa and Sweet 16

Associated Press  

ALBANY, N.Y. — Caitlin Clark said she found out about the Big3’s offer to play for the 3-on-3 men’s basketball league over social media. A social media account for Ice Cube, who founded the league of former NBA players, said the organization had made an offer to the NCAA’s Division I all-time leading scorer that reportedly is for $5 million. “I found about the Big3 thing at the exact time you all did, and my main focus is just on playing basketball,” Clark said Friday as she and her Iowa teammates prepared for a Sweet 16 game against Colorado on Saturday. “I think that’s the biggest thing.” If the Hawkeyes beat Colorado, they will face either LSU or UCLA for a trip back to the Final Four.
