Back in the summer of 2011, a few of us traveled to the NCAA offices in Indianapolis to start discussions on ways to work together to make things easier and more efficient for SIDs and our users. Through this conversation, we built the foundation of the file-sharing program which we kicked off in the fall of 2011 and has since opened the doors for other providers to follow.

On Friday, Feb. 13, at 8 p.m. Eastern Time, NCAA file sharing will come to a temporary hault. As you should have heard, all NCAA Web applications are moving to new servers and will be out of commission starting Friday night. We've worked with the NCAA about ways we can help during this transition and have put procedures in place to make sure your stats are taken care of.

Through the weekend, you can continue to upload your files or use our stats entry as normal. You'll receive a message that the NCAA is not receiving files at that time, but they will be sent once the NCAA servers are back online. This is expected to be done by Monday morning, at which time we'll do a bulk send of all files captured during the outage. You can then check your event to confirm that the file was sent successfully. We encourage you to check the event or with the NCAA to ensure all weekend game files were received.
