The IHSAA has voted down a proposal to add a shot clock for high school basketball while approving Personal Branding Activities for Indiana athletes, the two hot-button items highlighting the organization’s annual review of the Member By-Laws earlier this week.
PBA, which passed by a 13-5 vote, allows student-athletes at IHSAA member schools to potentially benefit while preserving their amateur status. The rule takes effect for the 2026-27 school year.
