    College Athletics Branding - Name Image Likeness Rules

    I guess I’m confused. Players can still leverage their NIL to setup their own personal deals with sponsors, right? As long as they pass the “clearing house” to determine FMV?

    Tons of movement in singles. And, if you play against someone better than you, it's very difficult to cover the whole court. Doubles is obviously less movement, but if you have skilled players, they are hitting lines, backhands, lobs, drives, etc and making you move plenty laterally. But...

    I’m contemplating whether or not I might be ready to play in a tournament. Not sure I’m there yet but maybe before the end of the season. My dink game consistency still needs some help. I’ve recently been using a Six Zero DBD elongated. I’ve enjoyed it so far. Most of us were playing with the...

    The biggest strategic difference I see (having hardly played any tennis) is that most tennis action happens at the baseline with drop shots being something to catch players off balance. In pickleball, the general strategy is quite the opposite by trying to get to the net/kitchen as quick as...

    I didn’t have a tennis background, just and athletic background, but a few players I play with did, and you can tell based on their play. On a fundamental level, they are similar. My guess is you’d be miles ahead of most other beginners in regards to footwork, strategy, applying spin, hand eye...

    Alright, had to do it. I started playing pickleball about 8 months or so ago and love it. Play 2-3 times a week for 2-3 hours at a time. It’s a great way to get 10k steps and tons of lateral exercise. We’ve got a group of 10-15 that play pretty consistently. I was curious who else plays...

    I feel like, this is supposed to be playoff basketball. These should be the best teams in the league, especially in the conference finals. Historically, that's when refs have "let the players play" when it comes to fouls. I can't believe they can't see what's going on. Which makes me feel like...

    General team info

    One of the absolute keys to last season was that we never fell behind by two touchdowns. Meaning, we never had to hit the panic button and play catchup in a style of offense were aren't comfortable with. I have faith Denbrock, in combination with our defense, to do the same this year. Doesn't...

    I completely agree the skill is worlds better, top to bottom, than it ever has been. Not sure I buy the complexity argument. But I admit I don’t watch a ton and certainly don’t study it. The 15-60 from three games don’t scream complexity to me. It screams shoot the first remotely open 3 I...

    Part of it depends on the style of bball you like to watch or have an affinity for? The game has turned in a primarily iso-driven, perimiter, 3-point shooting league. And, the foul-baiting, flopping, thinking every contact is a foul is mind numbing. That's personally not my preference. I love...
