The National Collegiate Scouting Association matches and introduces college coaches to qualified student-athletes through education, technology and relationships with the coaching community. NCSA's Collegiate Power Rankings were developed to encourage student-athletes to take a comprehensive approach to choosing a school based on its overall merits. Colleges and universities are given a ranking based on academics, athletics, and student-athlete graduation rates enabling student-athletes to obtain a true picture of the most complete and well-rounded schools.
NCSA's power rankings are calculated for every school at the NCAA Division I, II and III level by averaging the U.S. News & World Report ranking, the U.S. Sports Academy Director's Cup rank (NACDA) and the NCAA Student-Athlete Graduation Rate of each school. The U.S. Sports Academy Director's Cup ranking evaluates the strengths of NCAA athletic departments, while the U.S. News & World Report ranking recognizes institutions of academic excellence. The student-athlete graduation rates are based on those provided by the NCAA.
The NCSA was founded in April of 2000, by Chris Krause, a former full scholarship football player at Vanderbilt University. To view a complete listing of the NCSA Collegiate Power Rankings: http://www.ncsapowerrankings.org.
