NCAA Sweet 16 Preview & The State of College Tennis with John Parsons
John Parsons from the No-Ad No Problem Podcast brings his expert knowledge of college tennis to the show. We break down the NCAA Sweet 16, discuss the broader college tennis landscape, and explore how it can increase its television presence. We dive into the lessons college tennis can learn from beach volleyball's TV success and explore how the sport could experiment with formats to become more broadcast-friendly.
- College tennis hasn't been on ESPN linear networks since 2017, while beach volleyball has secured ESPN main channel coverage
- Beach volleyball uses staggered match starts (12 minutes apart) to create a better TV viewing experience
- The evolution of college tennis formats includes no-ad scoring and shortened doubles matches
- NIL deals have transformed recruiting, with top players now commanding up to six-figure packages
- How to build a strong program
- Why public access to university tennis facilities matters
- Women's Sweet 16 preview features Georgia as the clear favorite to win the NCAA Championship
- Men's Sweet 16 highlights include potential upsets like Arizona over Virginia and Mississippi State over Ohio State
If you have a local college, watch their matches. It's a great opportunity to learn from higher-level players, and you can typically go for free. Support college tennis and doubles by engaging on social media and watching broadcasts when available too!
