Outkick founder Clay Travis on Monday challenged the defending Women\u2019s National Basketball Association (WNBA) champions, the Las Vegas Aces, to play a boys\u2019 high school basketball team, offering to pay the winners $10 million.<\/p>

This offer significantly increases the $1 million wager Travis initially proposed in 2023, which was rejected by the Aces.<\/p>\n

\u201cImportant announcement: I am upping my offer, $10 million dollars for a head-to-head basketball game between the defending WNBA champion Las Vegas Aces and a boy\u2019s high school state title team of my choice,\u201d Travis posted on X Monday. \u201cIf the Aces beat my team, I will give them $10 million.\u201d<\/p>\n

Travis stated in a subsequent post that he will pay the boys\u2019 team the same amount to distribute among the players, with any pay-per-view profits donated to the Tunnel 2 Towers charity, which provides mortgage free homes to families of deceased soldiers, police, and first responders.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis will be the most money ever paid to win a single basketball game,\u201d he wrote. \u201cA modern day battle of the sexes. $10 million to the winning team.\u201d<\/p>\n

Travis later stipulated he would offer the same amount to the WNBA all-star team in a match-up against high school boys.<\/p>\n

When asked who would be the odds-on favorite for such a match-up, X\u2019s AI GROK, replied: \u201cA\u00a0 top boys high school state title team would be heavy favorites over the Aces.\u201d<\/p>\n

Post-puberty male advantages in strength, speed, vertical, and explosiveness create a major mismatch against even elite WNBA skill and IQ.<\/p>\n

Estimated odds roughly HS boys -1500 to -2000 \/ Aces +900 to +1400 (Aces ~5-15% win probability), consistent with prior sportsbook projections for similar matchups.<\/p>

As of Monday afternoon, the Aces had not accepted the offer, and the game remained hypothetical.<\/p>\n

Travis also announced on Monday his intention of creating what he called \u201cthe most inclusive team in @wnba history.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Nashville Balls. A 100% trans organization \u2014 men finally breaking the glass ceiling in women\u2019s sports!\u201d<\/p>\n

\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/p>\n

\u201cClay is the king of putting his money where his mouth is,\u201d said former collegiate swimmer Riley Gaines on X. \u201cWhat do you say to having the most inclusive team in league history, @WNBA?\u201d she asked. \u201cIf you decline the offer, you\u2019re bigoted transphobes btw.\u201d<\/p>\n

The conservative activist has recently faced fierce opposition from the pro-trans crowd for attending contentious pro-Sophie Cunningham rallies before WNBA games to show support for the Indiana Fever star\u2019s stance against biological males competing against women in sports.<\/p>\n

Cunningham currently stands alone in the league in speaking up for women against biological males invading women\u2019s sports.<\/p>\n

In response to the latest woke WNBA coach to support \u201ctransgenders\u201d in women\u2019s sports, Travis doubled down on starting an all trans WNBA team.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am not kidding about this. I am prepared to buy a @wnba expansion franchise and locate them in Nashville,\u201d Travis insisted on X. \u201cI pledge to have a 100 percent trans team, all men who identify as women. I will also employ a 100 percent trans coaching staff. Most inclusive team in history!\u201d<\/p>
