We build and maintain the backend ALL from scratch ourselves. Since 1998, it’s unique in design to track & rank college players for professional careers…from recruiting & advanced scouting through compiling and swaping/trading this very evolving data you are purchasing with team & league sources for the current Draft season.
College football team rosters are rebuilt after each Draft heading into the new college season, then updated & checked along with key depth chart building in the first few months of each college football season, aimed at the start of Draft season, Jan 20th of each new year. It’s a three, 4 month fluid, evolving process. September-January, College Football Season…January-May, Draft Season…May-August, Reload for Next Season.
