What did you expect her GPA to be?

[@dannysmith4447]

3.7

[@jonathancaldwell6342]

4.0, but she's closer than most of the WNBA.

[@VincentGordon-ev6sy]

@@JayCeeL451 lol

[@pauljohn5554]

Well! 4.0 lol

[@ricardoa.aggabao8413]

why do you ask …

[@murrethmedia]

I don't know why this is surprising. I'm not a college basketball fan, but every time I've heard her speak she sounded well read and intelligent.

[@Shreadington]

Smart lady! Clark is the only reason I watched college basketball and she'll be the only reason I may watch the WNBA.

CC seems like a very gifted, hard working and accomplished young woman. Wishing her all the success in whatever she does. She's been a marvelous role model for young girls. Some people just have it all, and she appears to be one of them.

It's hard enough to get high grades, but to get it while competing in sports at the collegiate level is truly impressive.

[@nakoahumphrey7216]

Keep it up girl you are amazing don’t let the jealousy get to you. They are so jealous

[@Jahnink]

No wonder all the other athletes are so jealous. Reese couldn't even make the minimum 2.0 GPA required by the NCAA for eligibility. Yet somehow she still got to play. I knew Caitlin Clark was smart. This just confirms it. Good for you, girl.

[@Davan1331-x1p]

They don’t like her because she is smart and had the ability to make top grades in college. That means that she’s playing basketball because she wants to. Not because she’s dumb and has to. No wonder they are talking trash about her.

[@clarity2115]

Yuppp, smart & a great basketball player. How can you really hate someone like that? Lol

[@rickpaulos]

lots of jealosy

[@NickyM1964]

Briliance all the way! any negatives are jealousy.

[@scottweisel3640]

This is not surprising at all. As talented as she is, it is clear she has put in the work and that she is driven to achieve. She wouldn’t accept anything less than excellence in anything she does.

[@kathyshea2444]

Well said..

[@johnmonsalve11]

Why did they not put her on the olympic team?

[@TheDenbagus4usa]

Because she is white, pretty, and straight. I could see it with my eyes closed.

[@dannysmith4447]

I wonder when the WPGA contacts her and gets her to start playing golf??? Why go overseas, risk getting injured, when she can play golf, then all she has to do is walk the 18 holes, for four days. CAITLIN CLARK A 2 SPORT GOAT!!! HISTORY IN THE MAKING!!! All she has to do is go the courses that have Opens, and play as a rookie, if she wins, she's automatically a Pro. Also, she can have signings, and take in a lot more fans, get young girls to try more than 1 sport, then there's the health benefits, keep Caitlyn safe, keep her in the USA. Some countries have terrible security, and there's some countries, that might even take her hostage. If she can take this team to the playoffs, in her first year, that proves the GOAT or not question, if she wins it, she becomes LEGEND!!!

[@ivanvillarruz8412]

Being elite in both sports and academics shows her dedication on whatever she puts her mind to. There are other student athletes who have excelled in a similar way but there are not a lot of them. The hours they have to put in to be the best in the nation at their sport is already grueling physically and mentally. I do not know how they would still have the energy or a functioning brain after training to study for their subjects. It is an amazing feat for those who have done it. When I was in college, I can barely focus for 2 hours when reviewing for my finals.

[@timmytheimpaler]

Wonder what Angel Reese's and Chennedy Carter's GPAs were.

[@davidyoung1610]

Underwater 😂

[@jimmyjackson2361]

People shouldn’t dislike her just because she is white, straight and smart. I know that isn’t a normal thing in the WNBA!

[@gr8dvd]

Obviously projecting your own bigotry. Most haters are jealous of her success and the attention she’s rightfully earned… or just plain losers playing the victim card.

[@darijohnson7338]

yes, it's possible to be a star player and be intelligent.

[@MannysTechWorld]

Clark learns something in marketing class. Goes ahead to use it to land a getorade deal. If that is not learning on the job i dont know what is 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@The.Good.News.]

As Nike’s ad says, “More than a long shot!” Congrats CC!

[@matthewhuszarik4173]

She played four years isn’t leaving early it is leaving on time. Staying a fifth year is staying longer.

[@giantsfanz55]

Attention parents: This is an excellent role model for your children.

[@roberthudson1959]

She majored in business so that she could maximize her offcourt income from basketball.

[@wendyfriedlander3183]

She is a quadruple threat to all who are racists against her because they likely think that a black woman should be where she is She is white, she is bright, she is Catholic, and has an incredible god given gift that she is building a career of hard work on. It is so easy to be jealous of this woman. It appears she has a really nice guy and a wonderful supportive family that is intact She's a human being and from what I have heard sometimes she has acted out on the court. Of course no one else has done that remember it's just passion for the game I pray that she and her circle of strength never let these ugly and bitter racists who have learned nothing about what it means to be a true athlete to never bring her down and instead help her to become an even better player and an inspiration to all.

[@jasonriley9677]

[@Eric-zk2hu]

The money she made in college with the new NIL rules allowed Caitlan to turn pro and give up her remaining scholarship status with less worries. Veteran WNBA players never got that level of money and most of their critiques of Caitlan are due to jealousy. Yes she has been hyped as the new great white hope for GOAT but that's not her fault and that happens all the time. Caitlan probably could have milked the NIL money and endorsements another year and made 10 times her new pro salary while cruising in college. Yes she will make millions in endorsements as a pro but she took the challenge of going pro and passed up the safe sure thing of staying in college. No matter if she has been over hyped she will have to prove herself on the court in the WNBA, she is taking on the challenge very aware of this.

[@timkvernen4852]

What classes did she take? Not trying to undermine, but a lot of athletes take complete BS classes that basically give you an A for nothing because the college pays for them to play. The colleges want them focused on the game; the academics part is just a formality. When's the last time you heard about an elite athlete missing games because of their GPA? If she took legit classes, that's awesome. Kudos and good job and congratulations.

[@danhulshult4614]

I’ll bet you very thing I’ve got ( which isn’t a whole lot thanks to BIDENOMICS ) that Caitlyn Clark didn’t get strapped with a Student Loan for her education.

[@GeorgeGlass1975]

she got a scholarship moron

[@BGK2223]

Surprising you blame bidenomics - record stock market; decades low unemployment; record jobs added, and positive GNP growth. Seem to remember trump had negative GNP in 2020 along with 1 million lives lost due to covid mishandling. I'm sure Caitlin got a scholarship, so no loans.

[@vbtktr]

People go to college for education. Sports and other extra-curricular activities are "extra".

[@rickkeeton9246]

Then why are there so many one and done athletes?

[@scarygary-qq1pj]

​@@rickkeeton9246Why do you care? We're all going to die sometime anyway.🪦⚰️

[@Jahnink]

Fully agree with you. I worked at a major university for 25 years and gave academic counseling to numerous student athletes. Those in the non-revenue sports are very dedicated to completing their degrees, but that's not the case with basketball and football, the revenue sports. Many treat athletics as nothing but prep for a pro career in sports, especially now that they are getting paid thru NIL. Academics is not their goal. They make a mockery of education and should not be in college. Let them go pro out of high school. Like in major league baseball. You can enlist in the military to serve your country at 18. It should be the same for all pro sports. NCCAA regs are a sham.

[@Jahnink]

​@@rickkeeton9246They are just fulfilling a phony NCAA rule, or dropping out because of low failing grades in the classroom.
