Key takeaways
- Resource pages are written by CAMPUS Editorial: the CAMPUS team and BrandRap, the studio behind CAMPUS.
- Every figure says where it came from: the CAMPUS database, with the date it was pulled, or a governing body's own page, with the date we checked it.
- AI tools help with drafting and research, but a person checks every fact, number, source and link on a resource page before it goes live.
- Resource pages never carry coach contact details, ranked lists of named junior players, or percentiles built from scores players enter themselves.
Who writes these pages?
CAMPUS Editorial is the byline on these pages. Behind it are the CAMPUS team and BrandRap, the studio that builds CAMPUS. When a named person writes or reviews a page, their name goes on it. Inventing one would tell you less. The terms we use are defined in the glossary.
| Role | What they do |
|---|---|
| Writer | Drafts the page from a brief and collects the sources behind every claim. |
| Checker | Checks every figure, source, link and date before publication, and records it in the pull request. |
| Re-check owner | Recorded against any page that repeats a rule or a scholarship figure, and owns the date it is next checked. |
| Reviewer | A coach or tour director, named only if they read the whole page and agreed to it. |
Where do the numbers come from?
Two kinds of numbers show up here, sourced differently. Both carry a date, because a number without one cannot be checked.
| Kind of figure | Where it comes from | What you see on the page |
|---|---|---|
| Counts and averages | The CAMPUS database, refreshed on a schedule and read when the page is built. | A "data as of" date beside the figure. |
| Rules, limits and calendars | The governing body's own page, from the NCAA, the NAIA or the NJCAA. | A "checked against" line naming the source and the date. |
The conference playability reports are the clearest example of the first kind: each is built from college rosters and carries the date its data was pulled. A figure we cannot trace to one of those two places does not go on the page, and we do not repeat a number from another site without reading the source underneath it.
How is AI used here?
Drafting and research for these pages can be AI-assisted. No page goes live on the strength of what a model wrote.
Generated images are used as illustration only. We never present one as a photograph of a real player or a real coach.
How are pages kept current?
Pages that repeat a rule or a limit carry a re-check date and a named owner. If that date passes, the page says so rather than looking current.
| State of the page | What you see | What search engines see |
|---|---|---|
| Checked and current | A line under the takeaways naming the source and the month. | Listed as normal. |
| Past its re-check date | A "figures under review" notice in place of that line. | Dropped from our sitemap and marked not to be listed. |
When a re-check changes something, the update date moves and the page says it was updated. Fixing a typo does not move it, because a date that moves for nothing tells you nothing.
What we never publish
Some things stay off these pages on purpose, whatever they would do for our traffic.
| We do not publish | Why |
|---|---|
| A coach's email address or phone number | They belong to the coach and the channel they chose, not to a public page. |
| Ranked lists of named junior players | It does more for the publisher than for the players. |
| Percentiles built from scores players enter themselves | The sample is not clean enough to tell anyone where they stand. |
| Claims about other companies without a checkable source | If we cannot link it and date it, we do not say it. |
| Anything about one player's recruiting situation | That belongs to the player, their family and the coach. |
How to report an error
If something on a resource page looks wrong, tell us. A useful report names the page, quotes the line and points at the source.
Corrections are made on the page itself, and one that changes what the page tells you to do moves the update date.
Questions people ask
Who checks these pages?
A person on the CAMPUS team, working through a checklist that covers every number, source, link and date on the page.
Are these pages written by AI?
Drafting and research can be AI-assisted. A person checks the facts, numbers, sources and links, and nothing publishes on AI output alone.
Why does a page say its figures are under review?
Because it is past the date it was due to be read against its sources again. It stays up so your link still works, but it leaves our sitemap until the check is done.
