Indiana's Independent PBA Resource
Understand the Rules.
Build Your Brand.
Protect Your Eligibility.
Indiana's high-school Personal Branding Activities rules are complex and updated frequently. We translate them into plain language—and give you the community and tools to apply them with confidence.
What Are PBAs?
Indiana's Personal Branding Activities Rules, in Plain Language
Indiana's IHSAA-governed Personal Branding Activities (PBA) framework allows high-school student-athletes to profit from their name, image, and likeness — but within a tightly defined set of rules. Missteps can cost you eligibility for the season, the year, or your career.
This platform does not tell you what to do. It explains what the rules say, collects credible perspectives, and gives you a place to ask informed questions alongside people navigating the same landscape.
Nothing on this site is legal, tax, financial, or compliance advice. Always work with a licensed professional before taking action.
