| Hi there, We know that you, a loyal InsideHook reader, appreciate great stories and bold insights. And a great deal. That’s why we’re excited to share Hoops HQ — a new media company (brought to you by this one) focused on college basketball. Now, maybe you’re thinking, “Basketball? Not really my thing...” But hear us out. Hoops HQ goes far deeper than just games — it’s about the personalities, the behind-the-scenes maneuvering and the narratives that make college basketball a uniquely American experience. Think of it as the intersection of sports and culture — told with the same sharp eye and engaging tone you’ve come to expect from InsideHook. I couldn’t be prouder to be a part of it. Allow me to pass things to Seth Davis, the Editor-in-Chief of Hoops HQ, to tell you more about the project — and the 50% off Black Friday deal we’re pleased to offer you as an InsideHook subscriber. — Mike Conklin Hi, I’m Seth Davis.
