Genius Sports linked with Gemini Sports Analytics (GSA) to integrate official National College Athletics Association (NCAA) football and basketball data into the GSA app.
Gemini has underlined its aim of making it ‘faster and easier’ for sports organisations to use predictive analytics across recruitment, player development and personnel, as well as health and performance.
As the exclusive supplier of official NCAA data, the sports data and technology company will help Gemini partners, including NCAA teams, to access predictive analytics through data workflows that improve decision-making.
Oliver Wells, VP of Strategic Sports Partnerships at Genius Sports, commented: “Our official NCAA data is the premium source of information on NCAA football, basketball and several other sports.
“We’re pleased to be working with Gemini, enhancing NCAA teams’ access to predictive analytics and enhancing the entire college sports ecosystem with the highest quality data.”
Captured by NCAA LiveStats, the official NCAA data feed is used by CBS, ESPN, Big Ten Network Services and NBA teams, to name a few.
Jake Schuster, CEO of Gemini, added: “We are delighted to offer our clients access to Official NCAA Data supplied through Genius Sports in the Gemini App.
“Sports organisations are always looking to access and leverage data in faster and more efficient ways, and this relationship bolsters our already exciting list of data partners.”
This week, Genius Sports also enhanced its partnership with the Indonesian Basketball League (IBL) to launch an integrity programme to tackle match-fixing threats.
The firm is now set to provide the league with forensic data and insights regarding global wagering on its events.
