Caitlin Clark has a totally not obvious NIL deal in Indiana ahead of WNBA debut

On February 29, Caitlin Clark declared for the WNBA, and the not-so-secret speculation about her landing with Indiana Fever began. But a new NIL deal Clark has with Gainbridge is not helping that conclusion be any less obvious.

Upon hearing that Caitlin Clark decided to join the WNBA, the Indiana Fever sent tweets like this one (and this one) saying, but not actually saying, that Caitlin will be their pick when the 2024 WNBA Draft happens on April 15. Then, fans jumped in by making memes and thinking of scenarios where Caitlin and Aliyah Boston totally dominate the league.

Now, news of a new NIL deal Caitlin secured with Gainbridge, the same company with naming rights to Gainbridge Fieldhouse, where the Indiana Fever and Pacers play, could not make this any less “BIG FLASHING LIGHTS, SHE’S ALL BUT GOING TO INDIANA” obvious.
