Caitlin Clark and the Iowa Hawkeyes have set women’s college basketball on a new course. 

Clark stole the show during the women's Final Four weekend, arguably garnering more attention than the men’s tournament.

After losing to LSU in the national championship game, fans of the sport immediately began looking toward next season, when Clark will be a senior in Iowa City.

The return of the 2023 Wooden Award winner has forced the University of Iowa to pause the selling of season tickets for the 2023-24 season as demand is through the roof, according to the Des Moines Register. 

"We’re going to do our best so that those fans who want to support women’s basketball at Iowa get that opportunity," said Matt Henderson, Iowa’s deputy director of athletics for external relations. 

Last season, Iowa sold 6,500 season tickets, and the school had received 6,700 new season ticket requests as of Tuesday.
