There really aren’t any rules. You just go to court. If it fails, go to court again until a judge says you’re all set.
Want a 7th year?
Sure
Broke rules?
Ahhhh, it’s fine.
There AREN’T any rules.
There is no better example of why targeted intervention from Congress is necessary. When you have schools and deep-pocketed supporters willing to look the other way on the glaring integrity threat of betting on your own team - and judges whose rulings effectively strip away our ability to stop them - only Congress can equip the @NCAA to apply this common sense rule to everyone fairly and consistently. The Protect College Sports Act would empower the NCAA to enforce rules including the gambling restrictions - it's needed now more than ever.
Breaking: 23-time major title winner Serena Williams is officially making her comeback to professional tennis. Williams will play doubles next week at the HSBC Championships, the tournament announced.
Wake Forest’s athletic department just welcomed a new university president and is in the middle of a $250 million mixed-use development called “The Grounds” that is reshaping the entire sports and entertainment district around campus. 🧱
Private capital is now following the athletic department’s lead. A hotel property was just acquired for redevelopment, a neighboring commercial plaza was purchased for major renovation, a $33 million freestanding emergency department is under construction nearby.
The district now draws over one million fans annually across Joel Coliseum, Allegacy Stadium, Couch Ball Park, and the Wake Forest Tennis Center.
Truist is a named partner for women’s athletics, the school just opened a new campus in Charlotte’s innovation district, and the AD is running a disciplined commercial operation for a school Wake Forest’s size.
People talk about the big brands in college athletics…Wake Forest is a quiet case study in what it looks like when an athletic department operates like an anchor for its entire surrounding community.
College tennis is in the best place it has ever been. The international players have greatly enhanced the product. The emphasis on developing US players needs to start at a younger age. Never before has the top 100 had more players with college experience.
And for what it’s worth, spare me the “American college tennis pathway” spiel. Pat hasn’t done a thing for college tennis in over a decade, and his brother constantly degrades pro players who went to college when he refers to all of them as “journeymen” other than Ben Shelton.
ARKANSAS TENNIS IS BACK 🐗🎾
Both men's & women's programs have been reinstated effective immediately after the announced discontinuation of the programs April 24.
All eligible @RazorbackWTEN players have also confirmed they are not transferring and returning to Fayetteville 💃
If you believe in golf and support the principles behind the sport… be vigilant, never take for granted your program, no matter the conference affiliation or past success. We live in tumultuous times in college athletics, Wichita St isn’t the last. Go support your program now!
Like 10 D1 schools are dropping Tennis, and the only way to watch the first weekend of the NCAA Tournament is a fisheye lens on some courts but not others with no commentary. Maybe the revenue model would make more sense if the NCAA made any attempt to market it?
It’s more important than ever for college tennis to get on TV.
Other spring sports like women’s water polo, beach volleyball, and men’s volleyball all have their championships aired live on an ESPN network…but not tennis.
