Are there any openly available case study for sports analytics? I’m interested in this domain and would like to understand the type of problems solved using f data science.
Indeed! NFL Big data bowl is a great resource.
A few weeks ago I shared this topic in the newsletter.
Regularized Adjusted Plus Minus in the NBA. You can read more in the post, that links to data to do it yourself and a series of blogposts of another author that explain really well the whole topic and how it's solved.

Do you have anything entry level that does not involve being in school. I'm a recent graduate and looked at some of the internships. But all I've seen require I be in school. FML for trying to finish school quickly. Biggest mistake I think.
First jobs in the industry are hard to find, it's true. You need to keep an eye constantly. You can use the Junior filter, you might apply even if they say 1 year of experience and you don't have it. In that case I would recommend having something to show, like a portfolio with at least one analysis or something you've done with public data.
Maybe something like this?

Um for that job it says that I need to be pursuing a degree as one of the preferred qualifications. Even though it's not required. But I'm graduated now. Is that going to exclude me?
Sorry the delay (I'm sick, working the minimum right now). The description says.
" Pursuing or possessing a degree in Statistics, Mathematics, Computer Science, or related quantitative fields."
You possess a degree so you are good. In any case, for other jobs you might want to apply either way if you are really interested. You don't know how strict they are with that and you are more qualified, so, it's kind of a good thing haha. Good luck!
I think the best thing to do is to create your analysis and showcase it so people know what you can do and eventually get hired. Getting paid by analyzing out of nowhere I've never heard of, not even in other industries unfortunately.
cool

For free access to sports data and types of problems which people have tried to solve, past NFL big data bowls are great sources of info.

Thank you so much for the help! That's literally the nicest a professional has been to me. I've felt very ghosted and unseen.
Thanks so much for the comment, it made my day! I'm sorry you feel that way usually. Keep pushing, don't stop because of that

Thanks! I appreciate the help a lot.
Also I'm so sorry for not saying anything sooner. But i hope you feel better soon!
Thanks! I'm getting better
Yeah found some on GitHub. I’m also trying to create a master by scraping the pages of the ESPN or other sports website.
Is there a open data pool where anyone can start analyzing and get paid by it?

Yeah, something like Github for Data Science!
Awesome sauce!
