Iowa women's basketball star Caitlin Clark announced on social media on Thursday that she will be finishing her college career this year and not coming back for a fifth season via the COVID-19 waiver.

Clark, who is projected as the WNBA's No. 1 pick by the Indiana Fever, just broke the women's major college scoring record on Wednesday with a 33-point performance at Minnesota. She now has 3,650 points and is 17 from passing LSU's Pete Maravich, who holds the Division I overall record between men's and women's basketball with 3,667 points.
