Here is a brilliant idea: Like Tinder, but for basketball pickup games.
Why do I mention this one here? Because I teach at a University, and I have heard this one at least once a year for over a decade.
(My response is pretty honest - e.g."it really sounds like a great idea, and I don't know why it hasn't been done. Go for it, and I'll be happy to help if you have specific questions." But "how do I get this off the ground?" Nooope. Figure it out.)
- Zelphyr 5y ago> "I don't know why it hasn't been done" I hear so often, "I have this amazing idea and nobody is doing it yet!" and my first thought is, "There could be, and likely is, a reason for that: nobody will pay for it."
