$3.1M NIL-valued Caitlin Clark shares hilariously heated moment with dad during intense matchup against Holy Cross - “Stop”

Caitlin Clark had a funny exchange with her father in the first half of Saturday's encounter between the Iowa Hawkeyes (30-4) and the Holy Cross Crusaders (21-13). The game was part of the first round of matchups for the women's NCAA Tournament.

The Iowa superstar was seen complaining to the officials during a point of the match, and the camera soon panned to her father, Brent Clark, on the bleachers. Although no audio could be gleaned from it, it was clear that he said to Caitlin Clark:

"Stop"

It looks like Brent didn't want his girl getting distracted during an important game like this. Clark's $3.1 million On3 NIL valuation should all but continue to increase as the Iowa Hawkeyes advance further in this year's March Madness.

Clark's name, image, and likeness valuation skyrocketed in the first three months of this year, as she broke first the all-time women's NCAA scoring record and then the overall all-time NCAA scoring record. Both achievements brought her to national attention and turned into an icon of college athletics.

She's widely expected to become the 2024 WNBA Draft first overall pick, especially if she manages to carry her Hawkeyes to a national title.
