v2.0.4 — territory origin + docs (2026-07-18)

Data-quality fix on the public 19-column tier. No rows added or removed (514,696). Schema unchanged.

Fixes

  • #1 — 150 US territory athletes (AS/GU/VI/MP + residual PR) were origin=international with empty hometown_state. Now domestic with the matching USPS territory code. British Virgin Islands remain international.
  • #3 — CODEBOOK no longer claims conference is ~68% sparse; public tier is fully populated.

Assets

  • Master parquet is in data/ on main (and attached below).
  • by_sport/ convenience slices rebuilt from the corrected master.

NCAA All-Sports Rosters 2025-26 — v2.0

Individual-level roster data for all 28 NCAA championship/emerging sports, all three
divisions (D1/D2/D3), both genders, athletic year 2025-26 — the first year under the
House v. NCAA settlement (roster limits, revenue sharing, NIL).

  • 515,393 athletes across 1,089 schools (~91.8% of officially reported NCAA
    participations; 96.9% of sponsor-list teams; 98.5% of D1).
  • De-identified (no names, no contact info). Every field is an institution-published
    roster fact from official college athletics sites, validated against NCAA sponsor lists.
  • Public tier: 19 columns. Analysis tier: 54 columns (adds Census town income,
    high-school public/private/religious classification, College Scorecard / mobility joins).

Canonical record & DOI

What's in v2.0

  • High-school public/private/religious classification (NCES CCD + PSS; fuzzy (name, state)
    match, threshold >=85, ~98% precision; resolved 394,447 / 76.5%).
  • Census-validated town income & population (ACS 2022; r=0.97 with the original field;
    correctly re-scaled small-town population).
