The Athletes'
School Ratings

For years, athletes have been rated, ranked and critiqued publicly in the name of competition. Now, we’re enabling athletes to reverse the rolls and rate their schools based on their overall impression in the following categories: Nutrition, Strength and Conditioning, Athletic Training, Competition Facilities, NIL Support, Academic Support, Career Development, College Experience, and Mental Health Support.

Our goal for Athlete School Ratings is to:

• Bring transparency to college athletics across multiple categories critical to a well rounded athletic experience.
• Help current and future college athletes—including their parents/guardians—make the best decisions about their future. These results are intended to give an honest picture of a school’s environment and resources, beyond what is advertised.
• Elevate the standard through candid feedback—highlighting the schools who are doing well, as well the ones who have room to improve—all from the athletes’ perspective.

Choosing a college is not a 4 year decision—it's a 40 year decision—and it should not be taken lightly. Ratings and reviews have historically raised the standard across industries, and will be used to both educate and amplify the voices of our members. Just as we consider ratings before purchasing a product, booking a hotel, or hiring a service, we’re helping provide athletes with the information to make one of the most important decisions of their lives.

This tool is meant to be a resource. It is not intended to criticize any school or person who does not deserve it. Our mission is to give athletes the tools to highlight the benefits of their school, and acknowledge problems to bring about positive change. We hope that schools will do their part in recognizing the feedback, and improve facilities and player experience where needed.
