Athletic IQ: Matching Students to Intercollegiate Athletics

In other instances, colleges recruit student athletes without any reliable referencing of academic interests or preparedness, which increases the probability of mismatches between student athletes and the institutions where they enroll-mismatches that can lead to splinters from an athletic bench and academic warnings from a professor. The Athletic IQ database will be segmented into the specific team and position aspirations of college-bound students, helping enrollment managers and coaches connect with the right students on two levels: in the larger sense of recruiting students with the "double hook" of academic and athletic matching criteria; and in narrower searches to identify and target a handful of essential "position athletes."
