Caitlin Clark has become a household name and has sponsorships with companies like State Farm and Nike, to name a few. She is now adding another as she heads towards the conclusion of her Iowa Hawkeyes career. Clark has signed a multi-year deal with Gainbridge, a financial service company.
Gainbridge is based in Indiana and has the naming rights to the arena where the Indiana Fever play. Clark, who has an NIL valuation of $3.1 million via On3, is expected to be the first overall pick, which is held by the Fever, in the 2024 WNBA draft.
The company is no stranger to signing with women in the sports world. Former tennis superstar Billie Jean King and LGPA Tour golfer Annika Sorenstam also have deals with Gainbridge.

Can Caitlin Clark and the Iowa Hawkeyes win the 2024 March Madness?
The Iowa Hawkeyes ended the regular season as the second-ranked program in the nation and have shown that they could go toe-to-toe with any program.
The Hawkeyes are tied with the reigning national champion LSU Tigers for the second-best odds to cut the nets this season, at +800. The team ahead of them is also the only one ahead in the AP Poll, the undefeated South Carolina Gamecocks.
They are loaded, sitting at -115 to win the NCAA Women's Tournament. However, with the explosive offense the Iowa Hawkeyes possess, they could create an intriguing matchup.
