Uuhhhhh….there are more than 1-2 that would be considered an upgrade.
Stanford, Baylor, Mich State, Indy, UConn, Texas just off the top of my head.
What do you think of Caitlin Clark?

You would certainly know better than I. I’d be interested to learn if she’s turned down any of those jobs. I would certainly retract my statement.
I know that of the places I lived, Iowa is by far the most supportive of female athletics, both hs and college.
Vivian Stringer found an upgrade. Different day and age though.
I wasn't making a comparison. Yankee baseball is what I'd rather think about.When she wins 20+ championships, then you can compare her to the Yankees, she is more like the Cubs.We will see what SC thinks of her being named Naismith award winner.
I think what he means is that she didn't make it out of the second weekend until her 15th season at Iowa (and 25th as a D1 head coach). A lot of schools would probably lose patience with that eventually but Iowa didn't and she's rewarded them and made 3 sweet sixteens in the last 5 years and now the first final four in 30 years.
There's plenty to work with there too.
Iowa coach Lisa Bluder: Caitlin Clark ‘should get more calls’ - Just Women's Sports
"We should be protecting the best players in our game," Bluder said of Clark, who posted her eighth career triple-double in Monday's win.

She won't like what South Carolina does to her team, either.
I find it hilarious that Iowa fans used to make fun of Iowa State fans for supporting Women's basketball really well and now all of a sudden they are acting like they've always been Women's basketball superfans.
Michigan State and Indiana are not upgrades from Iowa in WBB.
Depending on who you ask in here she doesn't have that now but she made her first two sweet 16s and first elite 8 before Clark was there (first sweet 16 was also before Gustafson). But yes obviously that helps a lot. She still had to recruit her to Iowa which wasn't always easy with top in state players
She was a UCONN lean before Paige Bueckers committed there first. Geno was taking whichever one committed to UCONN first.
My wife is not a huge sit down and watch sports type of gal. My wife hates college basketball with a fiery passion because the last 2 minutes can take 20 minutes. Last night my wife asked if we could watch the Iowa game tonight because she really wants to watch Caitlin Clark.
This is the impact she has. You can hate her or have your own feelings, but her impact is undeniable.

I saw a snippet of Iowa's last game but if Iowa is able to move the ball and shoot like they did that night they'll win. I don't know how good Louisville really was but obviously good enough to get the EE.
Same with my wife. It's ridiculous to expect ISU fans to cheer to Iowa in any capacity but the attention she has brought to women's basketball is an undeniable positive.
I would wager some will stick around and watch more women's hoops when she's gone. But I would bet the majority will likely go back to not caring.
That makes way more sense. Glad I didn’t comment on Twitter without knowing these facts.
Do athletic departments and fans really lose patience for women’s bball when they are consistently making the post season though? Fran hasn’t made a single sweet 16 and it seems the fanbase is pretty much 50/50 on keep or fire.
