A look at Caitlin Clark’s NIL deals from Nike to Gatorade and many more
Caitlin Clark is the face of women’s college basketball right now and arguably all of college basketball in general. She puts up eye-popping numbers, loves her teammates, is the ideal role model for children and draws eyes every time the Iowa Hawkeyes tip it off.
She is also seen all over the place for the myriad of name, image and likeness deals that she has signed in college. With her personality, charisma and smile all paired with her on-court talent, she is an ideal match for many companies to tie themselves to for ads and promotion.
It also doesn’t hurt that Clark can make money off these deals with the new era of name, image and likeness in college sports. But, then again, she has earned every penny and then some.
She has signed with some of the biggest names out there in sports, nutrition and even banking. Check out all of the companies that Clark has inked name, image and likeness deals with so far.
Nike
Quite possibly the biggest brand of them all, Nike. The worldwide player in athletics, street fashion and top-of-the-line basketball shoes is the biggest name, image and likeness deal Caitlin Clark has.
Gatorade
Gatorade baths aren’t as common in basketball as they may be in football, but that doesn’t take away the fact that the leader in sports hydration and nutrition has given a name, image and likeness deal to the Iowa point guard.
State Farm
Caitlin Clark was State Farm’s first collegiate athlete to get a deal. She has been seen in commercials with the NFL’s poster boy quarterback and global icon, Patrick Mahomes. That should be a testament to how big they believe Clark already is and can be.
Buick
Who knows what kind of car Caitlin Clark drives, but you can bet an name, image and likeness deal with Buick probably gives it an inside track as far as what she is going to be driving around.
Hy-Vee
The grocery giant headquarters in West Des Moines, Iowa had to bring on Caitlin Clark with an name, image and likeness deal. Hy-Vee is as Iowa as corn and the Cy-Hawk.
H&R Block
A bit of an interesting one, but one could argue it just needed to show Caitlin Clark can block a shot to be worthy of a deal with H&R Block, the tax preparation company. Bad joke?
Topps
Topps is the who’s who of trading cards across all sports. They are the biggest name in the card world and signing with them offers Caitlin Clark the chance to have some incredibly valuable trading cards printed.
Shoot-A-Way
Possibly the most logical name, image and likeness deal comes from Shoot-A-Way. The company out of Ohio produces basketball shooting machines that are used by the NBA, most Division I colleges and thousands of high schools.
Bose
No one knows what Caitlin Clark is listening to before big games but one thing for certain is that whatever it may be is coming through Bose headphones. She inked an name, image and likeness deal with the headphone giant that produces personal earbuds and headphones up to outfitting NFL coaching staffs.
Goldman Sachs
One of the most business-savvy moves made by Clark might be her name, image and likeness deal with investment banking and securities giant Goldman Sachs. She is going to need invest all of her name, image and likeness money and future earnings somewhere. May as well already have a hookup!
