MEDIA COORDINATION AND STATISTICS NEWSLETTER – AUGUST 2015
This newsletter is put together by the NCAA national office media coordination and statistics staff specifically for SIDs. This will typically 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 we have 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 know. Thank you.

• NCAA Digital Library Registration
The NCAA has a Digital Library that now houses all NCAA logos and Style Guides. Please go to www.NCAAlogos.com to register as a “new user”.
To access the digital system, you will need to create an account. To create an account:
-
Click on "Create Account" below "New User?".
-
At the next screen, it asks for a Registration Code.
-
Licensees, select licensee.
-
Media, select media.
-
Corporate Champion/Partner, select corporate.
-
Member Institution, select membership.
-
NCAAStaff
-
Fill in all other fields.
-
Click on Submit and you are finished.
Once you register as a “new user”, a notification will be sent to your email address permitting you to access the site. This process takes approximately 24 - 48 hours to receive permission to access the site.
Once you receive access, you will be able to search for logos by several categories such as gender, division, sport, and year. After finding your images, you may download in the versions selected. You will be asked for information as to “Why you are placing this order”. On completion, your order will be processed and a download link will be available.
We recommend that you visit the site to create a "Login" well in advance of needing the images to allow appropriate time for the permission process.
The NCAA does not have the rights for the logos of schools or conferences and only has NCAA Championship logos. To obtain those logos, you will need to reach out to individual institution(s) or conferences or, if you are a current CoSIDA member, you can access our CoSIDA.com logo library HERE.
Please contact Durenka Robie at drobie@ncaa.org with any questions regarding the NCAA Digital Library Registration.
• Countable Opponents Policy
Effective August 1, 2015, the statistics policy regarding the countable opponents requirements will be strengthened to ensure that non-NCAA teams are legitimate institutions. This policy does not preclude an NCAA school from playing a non-countable opponent and does not have any effect on any legislative sport sponsorship requirements. Please review the memo and countable opponents requirements for more information.
• Additional SID Information
SID Information – Most questions you may have for the statistics staff – including contacts, records books, code numbers, etc. - can typically be answered here.
• Archived RPI Reports
A database of archived RPI reports can be accessed here.
• Opponent School Codes
When uploading xml files to the NCAA Statistics portal, please be sure that you are using the correct code for both teams. If a team code is no longer valid, the file will not be accepted into the statistics system and the submitter will receive an error message. A full list of team codes can be found at http://stats.ncaa.org/game_upload/team_codes. Additionally, team codes for your opponents can be found on your “Game Reporting” xml upload page when you log-in to the NCAA Statistics site.
