Iowa star Caitlin Clark's final home game draws insane ticket prices

Clark announced Thursday her plans to enter the WNBA Draft

Fans hoping to watch Caitlin Clark play one last home game had better be ready to spend some big money.

Clark's final home game of her college basketball career is Sunday against Ohio State, and she's just 17 points away from tying Pete Maravich's all-time NCAA basketball scoring record of 3,667 points.

As I've said before, and as I'll say again, Caitlin Clark transcends women's basketball. She's become bigger than the sport itself.

There are people who otherwise wouldn't ever watch women's basketball who tune in just to see Clark play. It's been an incredible phenomenon to watch unfold.

She also does things the right way, and doesn't have all the drama surrounding her that you see at other programs. The Iowa star is an outstanding role model for young women.

Now, she has one regular season left, the B1G tournament, the NCAA tournament, and then she'll be off to the WNBA. What a journey it's been, and it's now time for people to pay up if they want to watch her final home game.
