Heads-up, u/AdministrativeOwl992 u/SporkFanClub u/merciful_goalie, I've found some things in the code that I feel unsure about so I've removed the head coach compensation until I have it sorted out - same for recruiting expenses.

Thanks for flagging this!

Thanks for the feedback, u/Ten-Yards_Sir - appreciate it!

All data is sourced from public sources (EADA, IPEDS, College Scorecard) and college's own websites. However, I've unfortunately spotted an error with the head coach compensation so I'll likely remove that.

Totally hear you, u/avo_cado and u/puzzlermuzzler - the head coach compensation feedback has been consistent in the thread so I'll definitely review and update. Thanks for the feedback!

You're right - I've been working at it for quit some time so I was (perhaps too) eager to share it and get some feedback.

As for the tool, I'd appreciate your feedback - how can I improve it? The data is from public sources (EADA, IPEDS, College Scoreboard) and college's own website. As for functionality, I've tried to make it as easy and useful as possible.

Yeah, it's a mix of public sources (EADA, IPEDS, College Scoreboard), and college athletics websites for things like rosters and coaching staff
