As Iowa star Caitlin Clark ascends the college basketball record books, her NIL portfolio continues to grow.
Clark inked a new NIL deal with Gatorade on Tuesday, according to a news release from the company. Gatorade joins State Farm, Nike, Buick, Bose, H&R Block, and others in having deals with Clark – who recently became the 15th college basketball player ever to reach 3,000 career points.
Gatorade will donate $22,000 to the Caitlin Clark Foundation as part of the deal.
“This partnership is special because not only does Gatorade fuel the best athletes in the game, but they’re also committed to leading by example and giving back, which is what I strive to do every day,” Clark said in the news release. “I’m honored to join such an iconic brand that has some of the most elite athletes in sport on their roster and can’t wait for what’s ahead.”
Clark joins a star-studded group of college athletes with NIL deals at Gatorade, including fellow women’s basketball star Paige Bueckers at UConn, Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders, and Penn State running back Nick Singleton.
No. 4 Iowa will take on Cleveland State on Saturday, December 16 at 8:00 PM ET as Clark continues her quest to break the all-time women’s college basketball scoring record of 3,527, set by Kelsey Plum at the University of Washington in 2017.
