Data Transparency & Compliance

At The College Athlete Network, we are committed to supporting universities and their athletes with integrity, transparency, and respect for compliance boundaries.

We understand that Athletic Departments must operate with care and accountability. That's why we've structured our platform to be 100% compliant, hands-off, and worry-free for our university partners.

Our platform operates with complete independence from universities while supporting athlete career development. We maintain strict data boundaries that protect institutions from compliance concerns.

For University Stakeholders

For Compliance Officers

While universities publish roster data publicly, we never request it, and never store it on your behalf. All data is sourced independently from public channels. This separation ensures that your institution is not responsible for our data in any way — and that there are no FERPA, custodial, or legal obligations.

For Athletic Directors

Yes — rosters are posted by your university, and we respect that. But we never ask for your data, and you never share it with us. Everything we do is based on public info we gather ourselves. That's how we support your athletes without creating work, responsibility, or compliance concerns for your staff.

For University Leadership

We operate entirely independently of the university. While roster data is publicly available through your websites, we do not ask for it, and we never imply any institutional ownership of it on our platform. That clear boundary protects your brand, avoids compliance complexities, and enables you to champion your Athlete Network without assuming additional responsibility.

Key Compliance Assurances

All Data is Public

We use only publicly available data sources, such as official team rosters, alumni publications, media guides, and publicly available professional bios.No private, FERPA-protected, or internal university data is ever used.

No Data Sharing or Transfers

Universities are never sent any copies or parts of the data. All data is hosted and maintained on our platform solely by our team in our secured environment. Your institution remains completely separate from our data collection and data custody.

Universities Never Take Possession of Data

Our university partners do not provide, upload, or store any athlete or alumni data. All content is sourced and managed independently by our platform.

No Legal or Operational Burden

Our structure is specifically designed to ensure universities face no compliance, legal, or operational obligations. There is nothing for you to monitor, store, or report.
