Nike Ball

I think we play with a Nike ball. Is that part of the package when having Nike uniforms, etc?
Is there a uniform ball everyone plays with in the tournament? I assume it’s the Wilson ball with NCAA on it. Is so, that’s the ball I’d want to play/practice with all of the time.
The AHSAA went to the same ball this year, which I love. I just don’t like the ball they picked. It feels like one of the cheap outdoor balls you get.

Yeah the ncaa let’s the team use the ball they are ‘associated’ with I believe. I agree on the high school ball. They must’ve got big time money from Wilson to play that ball cause it’s a outdoor pickup game looking ball. The wave balls were the most popular I don’t know why they made them use this one unless it was the $$

So what about the NCAA tournament? They just use one universal ball for the whole thing I assume?
I’d love to know what the AHSAA got for making everyone use that ball. I like the idea but the ball sucks.

Appears they use the Wilson ball. Not the high school ball but a better one that closely resembles the Nike one that Bama uses. I don’t know how much they got to use the junk ball in high school but like I said most teams were issuing the wave ball which I figured if it were the choice of the schools of one ball to go to they would’ve chose that ball rather than the one they have now.

I’m a fan of the evolution. Never really cared for the wave ball but some people love it. Never liked all those ridges. I’ve never seen a Nike one like Bama.
