Detecting Biases in College Football Recruiting (Fall - 2020)

Description

College football recruiting is big business. This project aims to determine if there are biases in who and how college football coaches recruit players. By creating a comprehensive data set of college recruits and integrating relevant data with current socioeconomic markers (i.e. census data) we hope to determine if there are patterns in who and where football coaches recruit their players, regardless of talent.
