Caitlin Clark was bossing college both on the court and in the classroom.
The new Indiana Fever guard left the NCAA as its highest-ever scorer and has already put on a show in the WNBA, having made her professional debut on Friday night, with the Fever making her the No. 1 overall pick last month.
Clark scored 21 points in a loss against the Dallas Wings on the weekend, hitting five threes in her first game for her new team.
Fans are well aware of how dangerous she is on the basketball court, but that might not be the case regarding academics.
Caitlin Clark’s GPA At The University Of Iowa

According to Athlon Sports, Clark posted a 3.64 GPA at Iowa, where she majored in marketing, though she’s yet to finish her degree.
“I would love to be on the Olympic team and be in Paris,” she said recently. “But that’s not up to me. I actually still need to earn my degree, too; I need to graduate college first, or else my mom might kill me.”
Marketing is no easy subject, and it should be a lot harder if you’re being the best college player in the nation by night.
Clark is keen on completing her degree before the summer so she can compete in the Olympics, and it would come as a real shock if she lets that get in her way, given her hyper-competitive nature.
Caitlin Clark and the Fever will play their next preseason game against the Atlanta Dream next Friday before beginning the regular season against the Connecticut Sun the following Tuesday.
