Definitely not free ;-) I used STATS Inc early on, but have switched recently to TSN for my current season stats.

Neat idea! Does anyone know where he gets the college basketball stats from, and how much it costs? I would imagine the data feeds are like stocks, and not necessarily free.

He gets the stats from STATS Inc. They are pretty expensive.

The quote I got from them was upwards of $30K to start which includes the stats from the latest season as well as from the previous seasons.

Wow, that's expensive. It seems like he sources news/images from the AP as well. So even though this is a self-funded, one man show, it's clear he's investing a lot into the product. Well done!

Yes, that's in the ballpark. Not cheap! (the whole sports stats industry is due to be disrupted in a major way)

RobbieStats,

The way I received it, you can negotiate with them but probably only if you are buying more data from other sports.

Due to be disrupted? You piqued my interest.

I've been thinking of a way to actually have an "open source" version of stats.

I believe ESPN just got into the stats data market.
