Caitlin Clark could’ve stayed at #Iowa for another season, but when the #IndianaFever landed the No. 1 pick, it was a “no-brainer” for her to enter the #WNBA Draft:

“It’s only five hours from Iowa City, seven hours from where I grew up — you really can’t script it any better.”

Bill Belichick is here at Martin Stadium and ready to watch Northwestern Lax go up against Ohio State momentarily. Quite the championship-heavy crossover.
