DESCRIPTION

The contracting organization seeks a vendor to provide a comprehensive athletic operations software platform paired with third-party administrator services. The solution should support recruiting and compliance management, facilitating lifecycle tracking of athletes, managing communications records, financial aid data, and providing compliance tools.
