The Data-Backed Case for CollegeSports.jobs
In the current landscape of college athletics, every dollar in the budget and every minute of a staffer’s time is under the microscope. When it comes to recruitment, the "post and pray" method on legacy boards is failing.
At CollegeSports.jobs, we’ve analyzed our 2024–2025 data, and the trend is clear: the most successful departments in the country are moving away from individual postings and investing in the Unlimited Jobs Bundle.
Here is why an unlimited partnership is the smartest move for your department this year.
The math is simple. By paying one flat annual fee instead of purchasing individual job posts, departments are seeing massive cost avoidance. Last year, schools that saved via the bundle saved significantly compared to individual posting rates:
| Division | Average Per-School Savings |
|---|---|
| Division I | $2,170.39 |
| Division II | $1,201.91 |
| Division III | $1,590.27 |
| NAIA | $1,012.50 |
| Overall Average | $1,786.18 |
For the first time in history, the tide has officially turned. In 2025, more D1 jobs were posted on CollegeSports.jobs (2,166) than on the NCAA Market Job Board (2,022).
While the industry saw an overall -52.94% decline in total job postings last year, CollegeSports.jobs saw an 11.25% increase in D1 volume. Meanwhile, the NCAA board saw a -33.40% decline.
Candidates have migrated to where the "insider" information lives—the College.town family of newsletters.
We are now at 374 bundles sold all-time, with a staggering Year-over-Year (YOY) increase in departments committing to the unlimited model:
+90.20%
+120.00%
+57.69%
+140.00%
“The unlimited job posting bundle is a great value versus piecemeal postings and the D1.ticker is the place to go for collegiate sports news and job openings.”
