The NAIA needs a NAIA Combine that includes all of the conferences at ONE location. Almost every NAIA team has connections to NFL, CFL and other Pro Scouts. If everyone came together & put their resources together, draft prospects could have a better shot at the next level.

Do NAIA players get the recognition that they deserve? No
Are NAIA players covered as much as other divisions? No
Are NAIA players just as talented? Most definitely

Thinking about doing a NAIA football YouTube. Recruits should be able to type in a school’s name and find something. I want to have a player from each team do a day in the life video for that school, I cut it and post and plug that athlete in to get subscribers.

It’s a little disheartening to see so many players looking for Pro Days at bigger schools simply because there aren’t many NAIA Pro Days available for NAIA players. We have to figure a way to get the ball rolling on this.

So I have been contemplating building an app or website for a NAIA recruiting. It would be subscription based. It would be a low monthly fee for colleges and free for athletes unless they purchase additional features. 15% of sales would go to an Annual NAIA Pro Day. Thoughts?

Being that it took me a week to find highlights for every school, I will say this… The NAIA as a whole has to do a better job of being visible, posting games, and also having clearer content. It will help with recruitment and also help the guys that are using film to go pro.

We all know that NAIA FB players are underrated but the issue that can help to address that is being under promoted. While the school has a pinch of responsibility, it’s up to you to put yourself out there. Here are some tips to help promote yourself throughout your career:

I don’t believe in being a gossip twitter account but what the eligibility center did today is insane. To have all of these athletes ineligible when there are new rules in place to combat that and they weren’t used is unacceptable. I wish the best for everyone in this position.
