Former college athletic media relations professional Pete LaFleur has conducted a huge Olympics research project for one of his websites, CollegeSports360. He compiled a database of 1,000-plus 2012 Olympians with ties to U.S. colleges (one list sorted by school, one by sport) and there also is a "college medal count."
The direct links are imbedded and short links also are included.
In order to circulate this information, CoSIDA members are asked to:
• Please forward to the appropriate contacts for schools in your conference
• Confirm that information for your conference/schools is correct
• Pass this email info./links along to any of your media, coaches, staff, etc. who may be interested
• Feel free to use any of this information in your own publicity and promotional efforts (please credit CollegeSports360.com and include direct links, as appropriate)
• Consider adding links to the CollegeSports360 data on your Olympics main pages
• Forward full-size photos you may have from the Olympics (some available online are smaller and larger photos can be helpful to help promote these athletes
