Football table expanded
The current football table now covers 56 programs across every division with source-status labels and exportable data.
CDA Athletic Intelligence™
Ohio's Athletic Intelligence Platform.
CD Athletic Intelligence measures Ohio high school sports achievement in context: opportunity, resources, investment, history, county strength, and community capacity. The goal is not another scoreboard. The goal is better evidence.
Data posture:CDA publishes research metrics with confidence labels. Scores are not OHSAA rankings and may update as source checks are completed.
Latest findings
The public section now leads with findings, not theory.
These are active intelligence findings and source-backed research lanes readers can understand today.
Mercer County under review
Mercer County is a priority small-community strength case because multiple programs show unusual football and athletic identity signals.
Athletic ROI source map active
CDA is mapping ODEW, report cards, NCES, OHSAA, Census/ACS, financial reports, board minutes, booster packets, and Form 990s.
Girls basketball selected
Girls basketball is the first girls sport expansion because visibility, tournament conversion, and community value are undercovered.

The indexes turn school sports into comparable intelligence.
Each layer answers a question that traditional scores, schedules, and rosters do not answer on their own.

CDA Athletic Department Index
Which athletic departments show the strongest total program depth?
CDA Community Sports Index

CDA Infrastructure Index

What makes CDA different
Context beyond wins and losses.
CD Athletic Intelligence does not need to recreate live team pages, stat leaders, rosters, photos, or video. Its job is to explain athletic achievement relative to opportunity, resources, and community context.
Resource-adjusted analysis
Success is read against spending signals, facilities, booster context, enrollment, and public/private context when sources allow.
County and community intelligence
Local context turns statewide data into stories reporters, sponsors, schools, and alumni can actually use.
Transparent status labels
Products still in collection or QA are marked with pilot, validation, and confidence status instead of being made to look final.
