How this site is made
Who publishes CollegeAthleteInsider, which other websites share its owner, how the articles are written, and how the numbers in them are checked.
Who publishes it
CollegeAthleteInsider is published under its own name. The site is owned by an independent publisher who also runs these websites:
- Sports data: nflanalytic.com, mlbanalytic.com, nbaanalytic.com, sportsdatatutorials.com, socceranalytics.net
- Roblox: bloxtoolbox.com, bloxtradeview.com, robloxgamefinder.com, robloxhub.net
- Calculators and reference: yalm.net, datafield.dev
- Technology and games: coboltextbook.com, matrixcognition.com, passwordpassword.com, vibecodetextbook.com, prismdatalab.com, blastproc.com
Many articles link to DataField (datafield.dev) for background on a statistical method; it is run by the same owner. None of these sites is affiliated with the NCAA, a conference, a school, a broadcaster or a data vendor.
How the articles are written
The articles, explainers, tutorials and calculator write-ups are written with an AI model, Claude, made by Anthropic, working from public data and the sources named in each piece, under the owner’s direction. The owner decides what is published and when.
Until September 25, 2026 the site carried a personal byline. It now publishes as CollegeAthleteInsider, because the writing was never one person’s first-hand account. No article describes anyone’s own experience of watching or playing the game. Where an article says “we”, it means the site.
How the numbers are checked
- Computed figures. Each data piece has a companion script that recomputes its figures from cached source responses every time the site is built and warns if a published number stops reproducing. The article states the source, the retrieval date, the sample and the formula.
- Cited facts. Rules, history and published figures are stated with their source, and pieces on rules that are still changing carry a “rules as of” date.
If a figure cannot be verified, it is left out and the article says so. Corrections are marked on the page with their date.
Publication dates
The 40 articles published when the site launched on June 4, 2026 had been given earlier dates, spread from January to the end of May. On September 25, 2026 they were corrected to June 4, 2026, the day they were created. Three more, written on July 5 in a catch-up round and dated July 2 to 4, were corrected to July 5. Every other article is dated on or after the day its page was first built.
Why an AI model
It makes it practical for a small site to work through full seasons of public data, recompute every figure from source at each build, and show the working on each page. It does not replace the rule above: a number that cannot be traced to a source is not published.
