Caitlin Clark is one of the biggest NCAA Tournament stars of all-time.
The Iowa Hawkeyes legend is the NCAA’s all-time leading scorer, after all. She finished her Iowa Hawkeyes career with 3,951 points. Clark was a standout star at the University of Iowa for four years.

Clark made several deep runs in the NCAA Tournament, making multiple Final Fours. She’s one of the most popular players in the history of the NCAA, as well.
But, for some reason, Clark was snubbed in a recent post from NCAA March Madness. She was not included.
NCAA March Madness highlighted Angel Reese, A’ja Wilson, Paige Bueckers and Olivia Miles.
Clark, though, was not included.
Why?
Fans outraged over NCAA March Madness’s snubbing
“You got to be kidding me. You don’t have to ignore and exclude the game’s biggest star in Caitlin Clark in order to praise others? Why can’t you do both!?!?!?” Linda Cohn shared.

“I try really really hard not to think in a conspiratorial manner when the WNBA or NCAA leaves Caitlin out of their graphics or posters or tributes… But they are making it really hard to ignore,” one fan added.
“Is the NCAA just trolling at this point? All of these women belong, but how can you leave out the leading scorer in the history of NCAA basketball, women’s or men’s?” another shared.
“Wow. Just wow. Why have the NCAA all-time leading scorer who has more records than all the players in the promo combined? Makes perfect sense. Nothing to see here. It’s all very normal,” one fan added.

“Imagine running the official NCAA March Madness account, posting about former NCAA stars setting WNBA records, and leaving out the woman who owns the NCAA scoring record AND started smashing WNBA records the second she arrived. More agenda-driven stupidity,” one fan added.
It kind of is unexcusable at this point.
Why is the NCAA March Madness account not giving public credit to the all-time leading scorer?
