Data & How it Works
What does an athlete’s Rating impact?
Athletes are rated from 1-99, with 50 being average. Their rating influences:
Position ranking (e.g., QB1 vs. QB2)
Peer value
Recommendation value
What are the recommendations on the Sports & Positions page and Athletes page based on?
Sports & Positions page: The recommendation is calculated based on a benchmark percentage multiplied by the team cap.
Athletes page: This is based on a weighted calculation using factors such as the athlete's position rank, team cap, and benchmark percentages.
How do Benchmarks work?
Benchmarks help you understand how other programs allocate their funds. For example, selecting a benchmark like Big Ten (P4) shows typical allocations for positions like QB1.
What is the Peer value on the Athletes page?
Peer value is determined by the athlete’s rating and the selected benchmark. It tells you the average earnings for an athlete similar to the one you're reviewing.
Why does some data disappear on the Athletes page when I select an NFL benchmark?
When selecting an NFL benchmark, Peer value disappears because NFL salaries do not correlate with college budgets. Some Team and Position benchmarks may also disappear if the selected NFL team doesn’t have depth in that position.
What does the Include checkbox do on the Athletes page?
The checkbox includes the athlete in the budget. By default, athletes are included. Excluding them impacts the available cap space and may affect teammates' recommendations.
What does the Annual Increase impact on the Forecast page?
It affects both the annual cap space and the projected salary for athletes year over year.
Why are some of the years blank for athletes on the Forecast page?
Forecasted earnings are tied to the athlete’s class year. Missing data typically reflects the athlete's progression through their academic years.

What are the main differentiators between Opendorse and TeamWorks GM / Basepath?
Opendorse is independent and not tied to any specific ecosystem, unlike TeamWorks GM, which relies on the Teamworks suite.
