OutKick founder Clay Travis says he is increasing his wager for a proposed matchup between the WNBA’s champion Las Vegas Aces and a boys’ high school basketball team. Multiple outlets report that Travis has re-upped an offer to the Aces for $10 million, contingent on the WNBA team playing—and, in the framing used by the offer—potentially defeating a top boys high school team, described as a state title team.
The proposal is presented as a high-profile “battle of the sexes” style matchup and is tied in coverage to current public debate involving women’s sports. Fox News reports the offer is made amid ongoing discussion that includes the name of Sophie Cunningham in that context, while Yahoo Sports and Breitbart describe the wager as a direct challenge to the Aces to play against boys high school competition for a large payout.
Across the reports, the main details include the targeted WNBA team (the Las Vegas Aces), the offered amount ($10 million), and the opponent type (a boys high school state title caliber team), with the discussions positioned within broader debates about gender and sports.
