This newsletter is put together by the NCAA national office media coordination and statistics staff specifically for athletic media relations/sports information professionals. This will continue to come out the first Wednesday of the month. If you have any comments or anything you would like to see in the future, please contact Mark Bedics (
mbedics@ncaa.org).
This is being sent to every email address that the NCAA media coordination staff has on file through the statistics sport databases. If there is anyone else that needs to be added that did not receive it, please let us Bedics know. Thank you!

• NCAA Career Statistics Search
NCAA Statistics offers the ability to research career statistics for student-athletes and career coaching records at the following link:
http://web1.ncaa.org/stats/StatsSrv/careersearch.
The student-athlete statistics database has information dating back to 2000, while the coaching database includes all career information that has been submitted to the NCAA by member institutions.
Please contact any member of the NCAA statistics staff or email
ncaastats@ncaa.org if you come across any discrepancies between institutional and NCAA coaching records.
• Transfers
NCAA Statistics can merge the statistical history of a student-athlete that has transferred between member institutions to compile a complete career breakdown. For example, John Doe played his first two seasons at State and then transferred to play his final two seasons at Tech. Instead of having separate profiles for John Doe at each school, notify our staff and we can combine those profiles to reflect the entire four-year playing career.
This process is also available if a student-athlete is in the database multiple times at the same institution. For example, John Doe played baseball 2007, 2008 and 2009 at State U. John Doe was deleted from the roster, but then added back for the 2010 season. Now, John Doe has two entries in the database, one reflecting a three-year career and the other for one year. NCAA Statistics can merge those entries to accurately combine the entire four-year career.
