Hi Sean,

Thank you! I will check it out. I am not on a mass email list, but I would love to be.

Also, I wanted to run some other questions by you...

So, my company AthLinkd actively works with over 50 paying programs in D1, D2, D3, NAIA, and JUCO. We are a platform that hosts player data with a lot of tools and insights to help coaches navigate prospects in the portal, high school, JUCO, post-grad, and international. A year ago I attempted to get certified as an NCAA recruiting service. However, I could not complete the application because our platform did not meet the requested items on the application such as "examples of prospect evaluation". We do not do any evaluations. We do not work with players at all. We are merely an advanced database comprised of public data.

I ask because we were going to put out some video testimonials from coaches who have had success with our platform. And, one of them just wanted to confirm that he could give a video testimonial- just playing it safe- though I told him we were not involved with the NCAA.

What are your thoughts? Am I interpreting things correctly?

Best,

Troy

One things every kid needs to know

The coach controls the red shirt, not you

When that kid at UNLV quit after four games and took the red shirt, they got him out of school

NCAA division one academic requirement to be eligible to transfer if the coach doesn't want you to redshirt and you do they're kicking me out of school immediately

Ncaa also changed that you can get eligible no matter when you transferred from a four year as long as you were previously eligible to one semester not one year

These kids taking the red shirt and getting kicked out of school can go someplace in the spring and get eligible and if they don't like it there they could transfer to another school

Hi Sean,

The guide we are writing for the portal is meant to be relatively high-level since each player has their own unique situation. I had two general questions:

How does scholarship and support through athletics work while a player has entered the portal? Does it remain in place until the semester ends then it is up to the staff?

I am aware the windows refer to Division I undergraduates, but is there any type of restriction on D2/D3?

Best,

Troy
