For the first time in history, the NCAA Women's Final outdrew the men's tournament, 18.9 million to 14.8 million viewers. Once Caitlin Clark moves on to the WNBA it will be interesting to see how much of that viewership increase women's college basketball can maintain. Caitlin Clark's impact on women's college basketball was beyond generational and in fact unprecedented. Notwithstanding, moments like these bode well for women's sports. The more women's sports can attract large "live" viewing audiences, the more we will be conditioned to value women's sports on our way to true gender equality in sports. And as the article below states, generally speaking the size of the money corresponds with the size of the audience. #linkedinsports #caitlinclark #generationaltalent #whathappensnext

The buzz around women’s basketball this year has been incredible. The NCAA Women's Basketball Tournament final scored more viewers than the men's final for the first time ever! 🙌 That’s huge! And it’s all thanks to the amazing talent and dedication of players like Caitlin Clark, and coaches like Dawn Staley, who are shaking up the sport and inspiring fans left and right. But, women in sports still face challenges. Despite attracting 18.9 million viewers, the women's final generated substantially less revenue from TV rights compared to the men—$6.5 million versus $873 million, as reported in a recent The Wall Street Journal article. This isn’t just about basketball; it’s about women everywhere having to hustle twice as hard for just a slice of the pie. Sound familiar? To keep the ball rolling for women in sports (and everywhere else!), we’ve got to step up. That means pushing for fair pay, lifting up the voices of female athletes, breaking down old-school gender norms, and creating spaces where everyone feels included and respected. We know one of the most powerful ways to do this is with your money and your investments. If you’re ready to start activating your money, check out our membership or sign up for our newsletter.
