rSchoolToday has formed partnerships with four conferences in the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics, better known as the NAIA. Under the agreements, the company will provide the conferences with what it calls an innovative game scheduling solution.
Building a season schedule is hard work for any athletic conference. Dozens of teams, venues and dates have to fit together, while travel and fairness also play a role. That is why scheduling software has become a common tool for athletic departments.
rSchoolToday builds that kind of software for school and college sports. By signing with four NAIA conferences at once, the company extends its reach into small-college athletics.
That said, the headline does not name the four conferences or the sports involved. It also does not say when the new scheduling system will go into use. Those details were not part of the headline announcement.
For athletic directors and coaches in the participating conferences, the change should mean a new way to build and manage game schedules. More information is likely to come from rSchoolToday and the conferences as the partnerships begin.
