\"\"<\/a>
NSR is unlike Rivals.com, Scout.com and other fee-wall recruiting services. Our services are free to college coaches.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

When the NCAA chose to ban its football coaches from subscribing to “scouting services,” it was a good-news, bad-news issue for us at National Scouting Report<\/strong>, the nation’s first and most revered high school scouting service in the world.\u00a0 First, the bad news.\u00a0 Most media outlets, apparently not knowing the difference between “pay wall” services such as Rivals.com and “free-access” services like NSR, didn’t bother to find out the clear differences between the two and thus, by association, lumped\u00a0all services together.\u00a0 To the good guys, like NSR, it was a startling moment to observe as even so-called knowledgeable sports sources would marry the two so nonchalantly.\u00a0 There are\u00a0differences, to be sure.\u00a0 Our business model is simple and, by the way, in full compliance with NCAA standards.\u00a0 We are not paid by college coaches for any part of our service.\u00a0 We do not have, nor have we ever had, these “pay walls” which require paid or comped subscriptions to see prospects’ profiles and videos.\u00a0 Anyone, college coaches or the general public,\u00a0may at anytime, access our Web site (www.nsr-inc.com<\/a>) and therefore our prospects without the requirement of paying a fee or needing a password.\u00a0 NSR founder, Bob Rigney, started the college scouting industry in 1980.\u00a0 From the first day forward, Mr. Rigney demanded that the company and its employees and affiliated licensees and scouts adhere to NCAA rules and regs.\u00a0 As a result, NSR has not once been cited, sanctioned or banned by the NCAA for any type of infraction.\u00a0 At NSR, we are proud of our legacy, our ethics and our history of alligning ourselves with the NCAA and following their expectations to the letter.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
