The rap legend pointed out that Clark is in the middle of her NCAA Tournament run… and he doesn’t want the offer to be a distraction as she pursues a championship with Iowa, but they’ll be waiting for her as soon as her college career comes to an end .
“This is a special situation, a special player that is moving the needle in a lot of different areas, you know, ratings, attendance, ticket sales,” Cube added. “Of course our sponsors are very interested in a player like this. This is our first look at planning to go after this aggressively because we know it would change the direction of the league and that’s where we want to be.”
As for any potential scheduling conflicts between the WNBA and Big3, Cube said she’s more than willing to change some things so that Clark doesn’t have to miss games from either league if she ends up accepting the deal.
TMZ Sports told the story – Clark could make 5 million (and then some) for playing in up to 10 games for the Big3, which would be a huge raise over the $76K WNBA rookie salary she is expected to receive this summer.
