She's one of the biggest names in all of sports today.

And a new book takes a deeper look at how Caitlin Clark got there.

From college stardom at Iowa to shattering attendance records,

and now as a top financial driver for the WNBA,

Clark's rise and her arrival to the league have come with some controversy.

I talked with sports writer Christine Brennan about her book on her game.

Caitlin Clark and the Revolution in Women's Sports and asked her how and why playing for the University of Iowa helped to make Clark a superstar.

Because at Iowa, she could shoot from anywhere and everywhere, including the next county and the parking lot.

And it would go in.

You know, she's the high wire act in that way.

She's a basketball player, of course, as you know, but she is also an entertainer.

And I think the allure and the reason Caitlin Clark is Caitlin Clark and obviously other women's basketball players over the years have not risen

to this, you know, transcendent figure in our culture is because she does have those incredible

shots, passes, et cetera. Well, that, of course, is, you know, where Caitlin Clark was able to do that

at Iowa. If you have her go to Notre Dame, which she actually committed, a soft commit,

Muffet McGraw, her coach there said to me for the book, she said, you know, if she'd come here,

it would have been different. She wouldn't have been able to just shoot threes left and right.

The team around her would have been different. Yukon as well. She would have been a cog in a great machine,

those schools being perennial favorites, whereas Iowa hadn't been to the final four in a long time.

It's incredible how by Caitlin making that decision to stay home, everything changed.

She goes on to break scoring record. She has at least 11 NIL deals.

You report in the book worth more than $3 million by the time she's done with college.
