A searchable athlete/alumni network you can actually use. Find the right people by title, industry, company, and location.
Get career outcomes with always-on access.
Most athlete/alumni networks are distribution lists and sporadic events. That creates near-zero visibility and missed connections—outcomes depend on luck.
We keep the data current. Not the school. Not the alumni.
Networks fail because no one wants to own the data headache. The College Athlete Network does. You get a usable network without babysitting it. That's the difference. That's why it works.
Filter by sport, class year, industry, company, location, and role. Find the right people in seconds.
See alumni at target employers and how you're connected. Plan outreach with purpose.
Reach out for mentorship, advice, or intros. No waiting for the right event.
Alumni contribute in ways that matter—post opportunities, offer mentorship, make referrals.
Post what you need or what you offer. Real matches, real outcomes.
See network momentum: new joins, connections, hires, mentorship wins.
Every challenge alumni and students face has a direct solution.
| Pain Point | How The College Athlete Network Solves It |
|---|---|
1 Near-zero visibility into the athlete/alumni network | Searchable map by sport, class year, industry, company, location, and role—so you can find the right people, fast. |
2 Networking is luck-based (events + chance meetings) | Direct discovery and outreach paths that don't depend on being at the right event or meeting the right person by chance. |
3 Distribution lists are noisy and ineffective | Targeted discovery: filter to the people who matter for your goal. Clear calls-to-action, no spam. |
4 Alumni don't know who to contact for specific goals (job change, internship, advice) | Structured profiles plus clarity on who can help with what—so you reach the right person for your need. |
5 Students struggle to get warm intros to employers | Reveals alumni at target employers and pathways through mutual connections—warm intros without cold outreach. |
6 Alumni want to help, but don't know where they're needed | Opportunities and Availabilities surface real needs and ways to contribute—mentor, hire, advise, or refer. |
7 Hard to stay engaged after graduation without a reason | Ongoing utility: career moves, hiring, mentorship, community. Identity stays alive through real engagement. |
8 The network feels fragmented across teams, eras, and geography | One consolidated ecosystem that connects teams, eras, and geography—no more silos. |
9 No way to see network momentum or outcomes (it feels abstract) | Visible activity and impact signals: new joins, connections, hires, mentorship wins—tangible proof. |
10 Gift fatigue: donations feel repetitive and disconnected from personal value | A new reason to give: fund the infrastructure that directly delivers career outcomes. Give to keep the network strong and accessible—value-based, not guilt-based. |
Verify your connection to the university and athletic program. Get access to your school's network on the platform.
Search and filter by sport, class year, industry, company, location, or role. See who's in the network and how they can help.
Mentor, advise, hire, or make introductions. Every outreach has a clear intent—no cold, vague asks.
Alumni: post roles or mentorship offers. Students: post what you're looking for. Surface real needs and matches.
Lightweight proof signals—connections made, intros facilitated, hires completed. See the impact.
When you get real career value from the network, you're more likely to want to give back. But gift fatigue is real—donors need new, credible reasons to contribute year over year.
The College Athlete Network creates that reason: donating sustains a value-producing career network. Your gift funds the infrastructure that directly delivers jobs, mentorship, and connections. Give to keep the network strong and accessible—measurable, personal utility, not guilt-based obligation.

Answers to common questions.
The College Athlete Network is a platform that maps your university's athlete and alumni network into a searchable, actionable system. Alumni and students can find each other by sport, industry, company, location, and role—and connect with purpose.
Distribution lists blast everyone; LinkedIn groups are broad and passive. The College Athlete Network is a structured map of your athletic network with filters, profiles, and clear ways to post and respond to Opportunities and Availabilities. You target the right people—and they can target you.
Use filters: sport, class year, industry, company, location, role. Search by what you need—a mentor in finance, an intro at a specific firm, someone hiring in your city. The map surfaces matches.
Yes. The College Athlete Network is always-on and digital. Discovery and outreach don't depend on being at the right event. You connect from anywhere, anytime.
Alumni post Opportunities (roles, mentorship, advice) and browse Availabilities (what students and peers need). They choose how to help—a quick intro, a 30-minute call, a referral. Low-lift, high-impact.
Availabilities: students and alumni post what they're looking for (job, internship, advice, mentor). Opportunities: alumni and employers post what they offer (roles, mentorship, intros). The platform matches need with capacity.
Students see alumni at target employers, filter by industry and location, and reach out for warm intros. They can also post Availabilities so alumni and employers find them. Direct pathways replace cold applications.
The College Athlete Network creates a new reason: you're funding the infrastructure that delivers real career outcomes. Your gift keeps the network strong and accessible—a value-based investment in your community, not a repetitive obligation.
