Launched in 2009, the Harvard College Sports Analysis Collective's (HSAC) blog is an extension of the student-run organization that was started three years prior. HSAC provides a space for "quantitative analysis of sports strategy and management," and the blog (written by Harvard University students and faculty) builds on this mission. Under the Topics tab, visitors can choose a sport or subject that suits their interests (such as MLB Baseball or Business). Readers with a more general interest may want to scroll through the homepage, where posts are featured by recency. For example, a recent piece, "HSAC'S 2020 NFL Mock Draft" (written by a group of contributors, including the organization's Co-Presidents Ella Papanek and Danny Blumenthal), discussed the group's predictions for the April 2020 event. Blog posts have gained traction far beyond Harvard's campus. In fact, some posts have been featured by national news outlets, including the Wall Street Journal and Yahoo! Sports. The Publications page catalogs all of these features, broken down by Papers and Articles and Videos. In addition to the blog's wealth of information, readers looking for more content relating to sports statistics and analysis are in luck. The Resources page links to several other databases, academic journals, and websites that may be of interest.
