NCAA Football SCouting & Recruiting Agencies vs Coaching, news, events & Media/Sports Companies9/13/2018 
Recruiting/Scouting Service Definition, Legislation & RequirementsDefinition of a Recruiting and Scouting Service
"A recruiting or scouting service includes any individual, organization, entity or segment of an entity that primarily provides information about prospective student-athletes.
This definition does not include any individual, organization, entity or segment of an entity that primarily provides information about prospective student-athletes incidental to its primary purpose and is generally available to the public (e.g., news media)." - Per NCAA.Org
We have seen many of our students-athletes over the past three years lose recruiting stock and opportunities at NCAA accredited institutions that fail to recognize the rules pertaining to recruiting that have been set forth by the NCAA. These players still went on scholarships to NAIA and lower level NCAA programs, but could not acquire a big time FBS scholarship in fear of eligibility issues by the big time college staffs that were recruiting them. If their sole purpose is put you in school on scholarship, it therefore is deemed a recruiting service. If this entity does not go through the proper procedures in order to become such a service, the athletes using that "service" will be deemed ineligible to participate in the NCAA if reported. The issue with "recruiting services" that "contract" or charge the college programs to access their material have very little subscribers from speaking with collegiate staffs. They have outside networks that they have relied on for years that have former athletes and coaches alike, whose opinion is far more valuable than a newbie in this brutal industry that will take a student-athlete's money, while knowingly ruining their chances at the next level.
Definition of a Subscription
An institution subscribes to a recruiting or scouting service when a staff member registers to access information provided by the service only to paid subscribers or registers to access information available only to a select group of individuals (e.g., coaches), regardless of whether a charge is associated with accessing the information. However, an institution is not considered to have subscribed to a recruiting or scouting service if a staff member registers to access information about prospective student-athletes from a service that provides the same information to the general public at no cost. Per - NCAA
Companies like NCSA are contracted with smaller programs and are getting money from both the recruit and mostly D3/NAIA and Juco programs, as they need these services.

We have seen many companies sprout up that claim to be scouting or recruiting agencies that ARE NOT approved the NCAA. While their athletes can be seen and they might offer some training in whatever areas, they are still illegal if you study the NCAA compliance and enforcement handbook.
Our program combines all of the exposure needed through our media platform that has now had nearly 1 million visitors to both of our websites. We now have over 1 billion views and visits on our social media platforms, while also having coached hundreds of athletes in position specific technique training and combine training that has enhanced numbers drastically. Our 2018 Scout Trout All-American Bowl brought in 15 FBS localized programs and many more at other levels. As we follow our players and the 2018 college football season, we wanted to make sure that everyone is clear on what is LEGAL and what is ILLEGAL for student-athletes and after coaching over 300 athletes that played on scholarship (some NFL), I can say that the past three years have been a joy to see so many athletes succeed through a program not only built off of over 12 years playing the game after high school, but through vast studies of the college recruiting process and what it takes to succeed at the highest level attainable for each Student-Athlete.

Every Year around 1,400 student-athlete's sign on Signing day
Every college coach has a different coaching philosophy when it comes to personnel that fits their desired schemes offensively, defensively and on special teams. For Example, a ground and pound running back might be highly sought after in the brutal SEC or Big Ten conference, but in Big-12 or Pac-12 schemes, they are often too cumbersome to maneuver like College Football Today's top rated recruit Daimarqua Foster.
Let's take a look at the current TCU Horned Frogs roster and how they recruit outstanding football players that fit their scheme, instead of looking at how many stars a recruit has by his name.
Let's take a look at the current TCU Horned Frogs roster and how they recruit outstanding football players that fit their scheme, instead of looking at how many stars a recruit has by his name.
TCU Football's Recruiting Classes are not worthy of the Top 25 according to 247 SPorts.
- 2013 - 35th ranked recruiting class in the nation. (left Mountain West 11-2, as champions)
- 2014 - 43rd ranked recruiting class in the nation. (#3 in AP Poll and Coaches Poll)
- 2015 - 39th ranked recruiting class in the nation. (#7 in AP Poll and Coaches Poll)
- 2016 - 21st ranked recruiting class in the nation. (Not Ranked)
- 2017 - 28th ranked recruiting class in the nation. (#9 in AP Poll and Coaches Poll)
- 2018 - 25th ranked recruiting class in the nation. (TBD)
TCU uses a spread formation attack that makes the defense cover the entire field of play, which can create opportunities in both the run & passing games. But in order to run this particular version of the spread offense effectively, you first need an outstanding Dual-Threat QB like 6'2, 228-pound Shawn Robinson. The Horned Frogs attack utilizes almost all of the running backs that they dress on game day, as they want fresh legs and speed on the field at all times. Browsing through TCU's roster, I even found a running back as small as 5'5, 148 pounds in Sophomore Jason D'Armore and many other key components to the TCU offense that helped the Horned Frogs become the best program in the state of Texas.
If you run a SEC or BIg TEN Style POWER OFfense - Stars are FOr you.
The two recruits above were deemed 3-star recruits by 247 sports and so was College Football Today's top recruit Daimarqua Foster. All three players have produced off the chart numbers that prove they are much better football players than their 5-star counterparts. Foster has rushed for 4,290 yards on only 385 carries (11.1 avg) and now has 68 total touchdowns after his record breaking performance last season. On the contrary, 247 Sports top running back recruit Trey Sanders out of IMG Academy has 101 total yards rushing (3 games) behind an offensive line chalk full of big time recruits. When I look back at the class of 2015 wide receiver rankings by 247 sports, I see that KaVontae Turpin received the same treatment by the mainstream recruiting media. I guess 5'7, 157lbs is not worthy of anything above a 3-star rating, yet his production on the field and blazing speed will probably get him drafted into the NFL. There are so many different styles of college offensive and defensive schemes that when you combine each individual coaches overall philosophy, it is impossible for media outlets like 247, Rivals or ESPN to even come close to gauging the actual potential of a college football recruit. This style of recruiting has become similar to the hype surrounding the NFL draft and is used to generate revenue for big corporations like everything in America today.

There are over 600 college programs that offer Scholarships To Play College Football and Receive a Education.
Most high school athletes do not know what type of scheme that they fit in at the next level. They are often told they are too small or not big enough to play at the FBS level or at all. There are still many coaches like Coach Gary Patterson and staff that value overall football players, academics and character before they trust an online source. Their knowledge of the game of football is light-years ahead of many in the industry because they had to build a program into a house that can withstand any storm. Each student-athlete should not be worried about how many offers they can accumulate, because that is how these networks are one-dimensionally ranking recruits. Instead, they should be learning the game of college football and preparing for the next level in all areas needed to not only land the offer you need, but excel for four years once you get on campus. As Coach Prunty stated in the radio interview attached at the top of the page, "you have to be seen... that's why companies pay for billboards". I see now that he was 100% correct, as the athletes that have the most exposure get to surpass a more superior recruit, whom nobody knows about.
