This is a clean-sheet beta of the D1 Sports explorer. The stable product stays at the site root. When requesting changes, say whether to build on live or beta.
Data
Shared dataset: /data/schools.json. Football = AP/Coaches nationals. Other sports = NCAA DI team titles. Acceptance & graduation = public CDS/IPEDS-style figures.
Plot modes
Acceptance / Graduation vs titles · All 3 = acceptance × graduation, logo size = titles · Rates only = acceptance × graduation, sports off the axes.
Axes
Best outcomes plot top-right: lower acceptance (right, or top when on Y), higher graduation and more titles (right / top). Bounds fit the filtered data.
Filters
Use the top toolbar: plot mode, conference, tier, sports, year range, and title count. Sports / years / titles open as dropdowns.
Play years
Play years locks the start at the earliest title year and advances the end year to today so championships accumulate for whatever sports are selected. Pause anytime; the year slider tracks the animation.
Share
Use Share to copy a deep link (including auto-play stories like football over the years), download a PNG of the chart + filter summary, or export a year-play GIF for socials.
