Caitlin Clark could be Globally signing new $28 million sponsorship deals on a daily basis. This agent needs to kick it into high gear. Because of her popularity, CC could currently be worth more than any men’s NBA player. This agent needs to drastically step it up.
pardon the pun, softball questions. When is Caitlin's Signature shoe deal. Would have been nice to hear about all of Caitlin's commercial deals. CC should be ringing the register right now.
So many people in comments know marketing better than Nike, Caitlin’s Agent, and Caitlin (who has had an NIL with NIKE since she was in college and btw she was a marketing major and pretty smart herself). And you guys know how to market her better without even knowing details of the contract, what they are currently working on, and what they have planned. Amazing, you guys should be representing Caitlin.
Nike prioritize racist Aja because she cried racism, they know CC shoes will sold out like Wilson balls if they release it now, she has no commecial all they did was release that ugly shirt.
Erin, why don't we see Caitlin being promoted by Nike? People choose Nike because of the goated promotions. Some people on Twitter are saying less words and more promotion (just passing on the message I read). Adidas is killing Nike right now, did you see the Ant’s ads? why didn’t we see Caitlin been promoted as ROTY? She better be promoted as the MVP next year, because you guys fumbled the bag bad. I mean, where are the sneakers and the Caitlin’s ads? 🤦
i guess i get it but do you realize she signed the deal in April, and she got a PE this fast? nike is dealing with its own issues but that in it of itself is crazy. sabrinas shoe deal took years and she didnt get a PE that fast
So you judge who's "killing it" based on...some ads? Who sells the most shoes? Whose brand has the most prestige? Why are people so whiny and gullible (and loud)?
Her agent needs to press Nike for their negligence… she’s one of their biggest stars and they hardly promote her. They’d rather post about other basketball players than hype her up, they posted NOTHING about her in the WNBA until she was announced as ROTY and even that was lackluster. Where are the ads? Where is the promo? What are they scared of? Also, that deal is a scam she’s worth way more than $28mil. We want the CC1’s now… I hope CC gets a better agent I’m sure anyone else would do a better job. It’s clear her team doesn’t realize they have a superstar on their hands so they settle for less.
I think Caitlin’s next sponsor should be Samsung or Sony. I think people (like me) bought new large screen TVs just to watch Caitlin play. They should sign her up and sell a bunch more next season.
It usually takes over a year to create a signature shoe. Sabrina was signed to Nike in 2020 and only released her first signature in 2023 and A’ja was signed last year and her shoe will release next year. Nike could’ve released more merchandise though instead of just the ROTY T-shirt, they could’ve also promoted her better on social media too. I think because of all the drama they didn’t want to get involved incase they got accused of favouritism. Hopefully next year they promote her better than they did this year but I suspect the earliest we’ll get a shoe is late 2025/ early 2026.
It's funny this podcast is called digging deep podcast, but they ask no tough questions. The question we all want to know is why is the Nike deal so terrible and why are they treating her like a second class athlete. That would be digging deeper!!
It would be tough representing players in a league that had been in the red for 25 years. The league lost $40M last year and if each of the 144 players made even $1m each a year, the league would lose hundreds of millions. TV money is drying up for more profitable leagues and Clark will need to make more money off of endorsements as the wnba wont allow her to make the share of money she brings in without everyone else wanting their piece and meanwhile the league isnt financially viable anyways
IMHO the league is not responsible for this. This is how the league was set up by the NBA Owners. I think it was set up to fail! The NBA-O does not want a league that could rival the NBA and steal some of their fans‼️
So, [Diggin' Deep Podcast], did Erin Kane sell out Caitlin Clark by advising her to sign THAT contract with Nike or did Erin Kane accept "bribes" from Nike to sell out Caitlin Clark?? What is your opinion??
The Nike deal is terrible for a Superstar and the face of Basketball like CC, only 3.5Mio per annum!!! I think 12-15 mio per annum would be deserved for CC.
The NBA became profitable in the mid 1980s, so 40 years after creation. Not 50. The WNBA exists due to continued support from the NBA, whereas the NBA's struggles were without any patronage, any support. Something to keep in mind. As for Caitlin, she's unique. No female basketball player is like her and indeed she's revolutionising the sport.
Never heard of any of those women in those other sports like baseball or golf until they throw CC in the discussion with them. Then, I listen, and I watch.😉
no she doesn’t. because her star power isn’t equal to Lebron. Lebron’s high school games were on ESPN for fuck’s sake. we weren’t tuning in nationwide to watch Caitlin’s high school games 😂😂😂
@@MarkRichter-j2l why would anybody care or want that? and why are you guys all of sudden cool with an athlete getting political when they’re white? I guarantee you did NOT feel that way about Colin Kaperknick. most unserious fanbase in sports
This is an attempt to jusifiy the lousy job they have done. I lost interest after ten seconds. because their are know answers about the terrible Nike deal that I wanted to hear about.
No CAITLIN Nike shoes, apparels, Nothing! NIKE is the most Woke company and paid $28M to shut her up and NOT MARkET HER! How dumb of a company can you be when her basketballs and jerseys sell in minutes. I would've already released a protro Kobe's under her own logo or at least be a limited edition. A Nike dunk, or something retro that is a Caitlin Clark edition. WOULD'VE BEEN KILLING IT FOR THE SNEAKERS MARKET! SO YEAH, SHE DESERVES BETTER!
This just shows how clueless you are. Clark probably made $500k playing a pro-am and doing two corporate speaking engagements in the last 24 hours. Angel's doing publicity stunts desperately hoping they'll lead to the type of gigs Clark already has. Let me guess, you're 12 years old and never worked in the business world.
I started watching Paige Bueckers in You Tubes of her high school games. I followed her at UConn to see how she’d do at the next level. I’ll follow her in the WNBA.
WEAK - you guys didn't ask the real questions. You soft balled everything. Let me help you. Why only 28 mill?, Why 2 years for a shoe?, why do let let you client get abused on the court?
lmaooo @ thinking her star power is equal to Tiger Woods (who was offered north of 500 mil to quit PGA and only play in LIV tour) or Serena Williams (who already won a career Grand Slam by the age of 22. 22 year old Clark has no national championship from college, 0 state titles from high school, and 0 Olympic gold medals).
@martellsimpson9429 she doesn’t even have more IG followers than Tiger or Serena. you’re a special kind of stupid if you think any club / sporting event is calling Caitlin to make a public appearance over those 2

Exactly. They are not paying attention. Yesterday at the The Annika Pro-Am, she had Nike Infinity Tour PE's with the gold spike! Unique.
Yes, CC is getting Robbed...
How many Nike commercials with CC have you seen? How many products have they released with CCs name? Not many. They have fumbled the ball
@@quasarrad1464 We are not talking about a dollar store shoe here. It takes time.
Nike prioritize racist Aja because she cried racism, they know CC shoes will sold out like Wilson balls if they release it now, she has no commecial all they did was release that ugly shirt.
I am a new viewer. You guys are really good, and I am looking forward to seeing more. Thank you for putting together your program.

This is like seeing someone watch a colored box tv...an upgrade is BADLY needed
Is she Caitlin's agent? NIKE is horrible about how they treated Caitlin. Like they're not promoting her! Where is her signature shoe?

So disappointed in Nike
Nike seem like they got the bag. They didn’t pay CC enough
She has a whole agency, not just an agent. Excel Sports Management.
What was their agreement? Anyone knows? If none, enough of this blah blah blah.
She seems to be a great fit for Caitlin’s personality, image, ambitions, charities, Wm sports, etc

False. Lots of companies & individuals invested in the league, including TV companies.
I believe that it's best that NCAA W🏀 do 4 years because not many of them will go on to the WNBA which only have 12 teams‼️
Never heard of any of those women in those other sports like baseball or golf until they throw CC in the discussion with them. Then, I listen, and I watch.😉
Caitlin needs to get together and consult with LeBron
no she doesn’t. because her star power isn’t equal to Lebron. Lebron’s high school games were on ESPN for fuck’s sake. we weren’t tuning in nationwide to watch Caitlin’s high school games 😂😂😂
Ms Kane: consider getting CC into politics....she could be the next governor of Iowa or Indiana, winning by a landslide easily...

Softball questions.
Market are the fans.
Caitlin needs a new agent. This person doesn't seem tough enough. How did you let nike and the wnba EFF her so bad?
Right on every account. CC can’t wait around the time is now. CC needs an ass kicker not this lady
Yeah Eric you definitely know best. The Clarks totally seem like the type incapable of doing anything, they definitely need you to protect them 😂.
This rep better get on Nike; they've put CC on the back burner! 😢
Renegotiate that Nike deal ASAP !!!!!!!!
Caitlin... theres no way this is who you chose as your agent... Smh no wonder she has that horrible nike deal
Where are the commercials? Where is her shoe? Where is the 22 apparel? WTF, this lady is clueless..
So is CC going to the European league or what? I thought CC was done with the WNBA?????
A real advocate would have dumped Nike by now & signed with another brand. Step up your game or step aside
Why is this woman Caitlin’s agent she’s horrible who recommended her Nike ?

The only women Caitlin can be compared to in terms of impact are Chris Evert and maybe Mary Lou Retton.
Terrible agent. Get a top NBA/MLB agent.
Clark agent so lucky. She should push Nike to give Clark her signature shoe. 2026 is too long for Clark. Just get Adidas.
If Caitlin is 1 of 1 and fans control the market did her agent drop the ball?
50yrs for the NBA? Naahh it's 30-40yrs max.
NBA started in 1949 75 years.
@JohnDunne-n3q I know about the 75yrs. She said it took the NBA 50yrs to become a profitable league. That's not correct. Not 50yrs.
Caitlin’s Agent but it looks like she worked for NIKE because they got the better deal ✔️
She's definitely getting paid on the backend
CC must fire this agent! Terrible deal with the superstar, no Nike shoes. Wilson Basketball was better. CC broke more record in her college! Terrible!
Caitlin should fire her hire angel reesess agent
Not one dam commercial or recent TV talk show appearances magazine cover . TV show cameo Wheaties box cover . I would hire Reese agent
