Despite being productive while working remotely, Jay had to choose between quitting or transferring to a lower-paying job within the same agency.

The Rise of Caitlin Clark: A Phenomenal Basketball Player Defying Height and Talent Conundrum.

Women's college basketball has an abundance of talent, but with only 144 spots in the WNBA, many players will have to play elsewhere. The league faces a problem each spring when hundreds of women vie for 36 draft spots, and the issue is heightening as the talent pool deepens in women's college basketball.
