## What it returns

Schedules, results and rosters for NCAA Division I, II and III schools, read from each school's official athletics website: about 1,000 schools, 16,000 teams, 340,000 games and 445,000 roster entries across 40+ sports.

Three datasets:

- **games**: one row per scheduled game or event, with sport, date, time, opponent, home/away/neutral, location, conference game, final result (W/L/T), team score, opponent score and box score link where the school posts one.
- **rosters**: one row per listed player, with sport, name, jersey, position, class year, height, weight, hometown, high school and previous school.
- **schools**: one row per school, with NCAA division, conference, state, athletics site and the number of sports found.

Filter by school, sport, division, conference, state, opponent and date range. You can also filter for played games only, or search rosters by player name, position, hometown or high school. Games and rosters include each school's division, conference and state.

Source: each school's public schedule and roster pages, for schools whose sites run on the Sidearm Sports or WMT Digital platforms, which together cover most NCAA members, including the major conferences. Schools whose sites run on other platforms are listed with no games or rosters. The school list comes from the NCAA member directory. Data is rebuilt weekly. Sport names are as each school writes them (for example mens-basketball, womens-soccer, softball). A blank field means the school did not publish it.

Charged per row returned.
