About This Platform

Indiana's Independent PBA Resource

We are an independent, editorially autonomous platform. We are not the IHSAA, a school, a law firm, an agent, or a brand. We are a resource.

Our Mission

Indiana's Personal Branding Activities rules are complicated. They change. They interact with federal law, school policy, and the economics of social media in ways that are genuinely hard to track. Most information available online is written for college athletes, or for states with different rules, or is months out of date.

We exist to close that gap—specifically for Indiana's high-school community.

We publish plain-language summaries of the current rules. We curate a library of downloadable resources. We host a moderated community where athletes, parents, educators, and professionals can discuss real questions together. And we are relentlessly honest about what we are and are not: an educational resource, not a compliance authority.

Our Independence

Personal Branding Activities is not affiliated with, endorsed by, sponsored by, or operated by the Indiana High School Athletic Association (IHSAA), any Indiana school, school district, state agency, or governing body. Our editorial positions, resource selections, and community moderation are entirely our own.

We accept paid memberships to fund operations. We do not accept advertising from agents, agencies, or businesses that work with student-athletes, to avoid any appearance that our content benefits those relationships. We do not endorse or recommend specific professionals, firms, or services.

What We Are Not

  • Not legal advice. Nothing on this platform constitutes legal advice. Always consult a licensed attorney before signing contracts, accepting compensation, or making decisions that could affect eligibility.
  • Not tax or financial advice. Consult a licensed CPA or financial professional for tax and financial guidance.
  • Not compliance certification. Using this platform does not guarantee eligibility or compliance with any rule.
  • Not the rulemaker. We summarize and discuss rules that are made and enforced by others. When rules change, we update — but you should always verify against official sources.
