What an incredible achievement by our friends at Big Ten Network, Big Ten Conference, and of course, the participating schools and athletes!!Packing 92K fans into the iconic Memorial Stadium 🌽 🏈...for a volleyball match 🏐...that broke the attendance record for women's sports 🥇...in front of an international TV audience 🌎...is a milestone to celebrate 🥳What is the #B1G doing right to accomplish such a feat?I think a major contributing factor is #directtoconsumer (#D2C) streaming access to 1,700 non-televised games and events on Big Ten Plus.Consider the scale of the audience:✅ 10K student-athletes✅ 500K active students✅ 5.5M living alumni✅ Countless friends and family membersAs we've seen from the conference realignment drama over the summer, football will have an outsized role in national broadcast rights for the foreseeable future.But the pride fans must feel to watch their classmates, siblings, children, etc. play (or broadcast!) the games they love speaks to the power of #OTT.

Professional bowling vs bowling with your friends explained in this GQ article about Jason Belmonte, the tours best player.“But the oil patterns on the tour, unlike those at your local house, are devilishly difficult: the comparison is akin to logging a hole in one at your local putt-putt course, the contours guiding the ball toward the hole, versus sinking a downhill double breaker at Augusta. In other words, there is no comparison.”DM me to learn how the Professional Bowlers Association (PBA) can help grow your business. #bowling #sportsbiz

🎾Courtesy is expected. Tennis after all is a "Gentleman's sport".🎩Sportsmanship is an often neglected fundamental of sports. It’s an area of competition that gets plenty of attention, but for all the wrong reasons. Practicing proper etiquette shows respect to your opponent or other fellow members, ultimately making the game more enjoyable for all.Here are some Do's and Don'ts in the world of good sportsmanship :❌DO NOT: Cheat or play dirty to win. You may pocket a victory by stooping to dishonest behavior, but you will lose respect of your peers and compromise your integrity.✅DO: Play fair! Play by the rules. Pass it on.❌DO NOT: Continuously talk trash or smack talk. Save all that energy and focus to concentrate on your performance because talking trash doesn’t make up for a lack of skill, it just shows a negative aspect of your character on and off the court.✅DO: Give credit where credit is due. In fact, go a step further by complimenting your opponent on a good play or giving a “nice job” type pat on the back. ❌DO NOT: Be a sore loser. Sometimes you are just going to get outplayed. Accept it. No one likes to lose, but why let a loss keep you down? So don’t sulk, don’t cry, and definitely do not swear or throw things – seriously, racket and ball abuse are just inexcusable.✅DO: Lose gracefully. End each and every match with a smile, firm handshake and compliment on your opponent’s performance. Get feedback from your coaches, teammates and find out what you can work on so that next time you can be a graceful winner. And when you win? Stay classy. Your performance will speak for itself. 😊 What else shows good sportsmanship? 😃Let us know in the comments below! #siamsportspro #tennisacademy #tennisphu*ket #phu*kettennis #thailandtennis #phu*ketthailand #tennisplayer #tennislife #phu*kett #tennisacademythailand #tennislesson #sportsmanship #sspphu*ket #etiquette #tennisetiquette
