One thing about Caitlin Clark that fans know and admire is her interests in multiple sports and eye for ‘good performances’. She played football in her early days and recently showcased her golf skills, too. A hardcore Kansas City Chiefs supporter, she even backed the Chicago Bears in the NFL after their impressive run during the season.
Apart from that, the player constantly talks about her Hawkeyes’ girls and even celebrated coach Jan Jensen surpassing Lisa Bluder’s milestones. Amid this, fans noticed her silence regarding the Iowa Men’s Basketball team, which recently made history by reaching the Elite Eight of the tournament.
Question Over Caitlin Clark’s Silence Over Iowa Hawkeyes’ Men’s Team’s Achievement
The Iowa Hawkeyes entered the tournament as minnows but exceeded expectations, reaching the Elite Eight. It was their first Elite Eight appearance since 1987, and the side also defeated the defending champion Florida team to reach the historic milestone.
While CC is an Iowa Hawkeye’s iconic Alum, fans feel her silence and even question her decision.
Not a peep from Caitlin Clark regarding the Men’s run to the Elite 8. Current and former Hawkeye athletes from all sports have been voicing their support, yet not a word from the most famous athlete of them all. Wonder why that is??

Disappointing.
There were many similar posts and comments; many fans pointed out her relationship with Connor McCaffery as the key reason for her silence. Connor McCaffery is the son of longtime Iowa coach Fran McCaffery, who was dismissed after a 17–16 season in the 2024-25 season. The men’s team’s recent success under new coach Ben McCollum could be a sensitive subject for the McCaffery family.
Although the player kept mum on Iowa’s historic run in the NCAA tournament, she recently spoke about the Indiana Fever’s plans in the upcoming season. Clark already wants the Fever team to re-sign Sophie Cunningham, and now, the player pinpoints the team’s priority.

Caitlin Clark Opens Up On Indiana Fever Priority In 2026
The CBA confirmation gave the green light for further processes, which will lead to the start of the 2026 season. Franchises are looking to build a competitive roster, and 2025 semifinalists are also in the race to attract megastars and impactful players to challenge for the title. The former 2024 rookie sees Kelsey Mitchell as an integral part of the plan for the Fever team.
Talking about the upcoming season and Mitchell’s free agency situation, Clark said, “It’s a very unique situation. I think there’s over a hundred players in the league that are free agents, so we really only know about five people, or three people that are going to be on our team next year. But I feel like we have a great core. You know our first priority is to sign Kelsey Mitchell back.”
