In the next 12 months, every Front Office in sports will deploy custom AI — running 24/7 to
• find under-valued talent
• simulate cap strategy scenarios
• build analytics models
NEW in Dropback 👇
The future of competitive advantage in sports:
30 teams uploading the same spreadsheet to ChatGPT and asking it to find something the other 29 missed.
🤯🤯🤯

Front Office season is here, and the most advanced Front Offices use Dropback.
Powered by a customizable, private AI for each team we work with--identifying, valuing, and signing athletes finally lives in one place.
GMs: it's time to play Moneyball 👇

Roster building is becoming more science than art.
Funny enough, 15 of the 25 schools in this article are public customers of a certain “General Manager” module...
Plenty of press releases, but the story is still chaos & spreadsheets for these GMs.
Your systems should help manage the chaos. And the right systems (@DropbackHQ!) can.
GMs: ready to join other power programs making the transition from them to us? Let’s talk!
Spreadsheets, NIL, rev share, transfer portal, international recruiting, 5-in-5, lawsuits…
Roster construction in women’s college basketball has never been more complicated.
I spoke with 9 coaches from 4 leagues about adapting to the constant changes:

There are a lot of Front Office scouting processes that only worked because there is a limit to how fast humans can operate.
We're about to find out what all of them are, as AI breaks them.
Imagine watching the most competitive era of college sports in decades and deciding the federal government needs to intervene to make it less competitive again.
You thought “NIL” was fun…
Wait until “what counts as cap circumvention?” becomes a question of federal statutory interpretation!
NEW: The U.S. Senate has passed the Protect College Sports Act.
The bill now moves to the House of Representatives.

Saban on Gameday at 10:50a: “Protect College Sports! Thank you Trump for saving college sports!”
Saban at 11:50a: “If I were still coaching? I’d do whatever it takes to convince [MSU QB Kamario Taylor] to get in the Portal”
Yup, that about sums it up 👍

Our core belief is that a team’s roster advantage will not come from buying the same generic model or proprietary grade as everyone else.
It will come from a Front Office owning its data & judgment—and using AI to scale the work around *their own* decision-making framework.

Went to check something on Hudl IQ and didn't finish the URL. That's some nice SEO @DropbackHQ
