ESPN Recruiting Database Inquiry

[UNH_Alum_In_CT]

I was researching a player this morning to determine where he ended up and stumbled upon ESPN's database inquiry. I hadn't used it before, usually looked at Rivals. Anyway, I was shocked when I went to select a specific school and realized that FCS schools weren't listed. So, I went over to the pull down selection for leagues to locate the CAA and found all the FCS conferences listed as "Div 2"!!! Not that many of us doubted why so much of the country is ignorant of ESPN, but it is still pretty shocking to see ESPN make such a glaring mistake. I plan to send off a comment to them later today. Take a look, maybe you'll feel like sending them some feedback too! :D

FCS are listed, just scroll past FBS schools They are all there

Didn't think to look below the FBS schools even though I know that the ESPN mindset is to exclude the FCS schools from D-I. No excuse for them listing the conferences as D-II though.

D-II

I honestly, genuinely believe that many at ESPN just don't know the difference.

CBS Sports/247 Sports likewise limits its database to FBS:

Really, how hard would it be to include all DI schools?

sportsnetwork.com (TSN) has them all here:

Looks to me like the best database choice. All neatly and logically displayed.
