FOI #26-646 (09-30-26, 10:41 am) - Subject - Freedom of Information Act Request - Football/Athletics Software Contracts & Invoices (Jan. 1, 2022 - present)
Name - Anthony Braxton
Affiliation -
Under the Freedom of Information Act, Conn. Gen. Stat. §§ 1-200 to 1-241, I request electronic copies of the following records held by **UConn's football program and/or athletics department** (including records held by athletics on behalf of the university, and records in central procurement/IT/business-office files that relate to athletics purchases) **created, signed, invoiced, or in effect between January 1, 2022 and the date this request is processed**.
**Scope – limited to these four vendor/product categories only:**
1. **Film/video exchange & editing:** e.g., Hudl (incl. Hudl Sideline/Assist), Catapult/XOS Digital, Synergy Sports, DVSport, Sportscode/Nacsport, Krossover, Dartfish, and similar.
2. **Playbook/diagramming:** e.g., Just Play, Pro Quick Draw, Hudl Playbook, GamePlan, FirstDown PlayBook, and similar.
3. **Analytics/scouting:** e.g., Pro Football Focus (PFF), Championship Analytics, Sports Info Solutions (SIS), Sportradar/Stats Perform scouting data, and similar.
4. **Communications/operations:** e.g., Teamworks, Front Rush, Sportsplus, and similar.
**Record types requested (for each vendor above):**
- Contracts, agreements, master service agreements, order forms, statements of work, and amendments
- Renewals and renewal notices
- Quotes/proposals and price sheets/rate cards
- Invoices and purchase orders (PO number, date, amount)
- Documents sufficient to show **seat/license/user counts** (e.g., number of licenses, accounts, or users purchased or authorized)
Please **do not** include student-athlete personal information, video content, playbooks, scouting reports, or any substantive product data—I am seeking only the commercial/procurement records listed above. Where a record contains protected personal or student information, please redact and release the remainder.
**Format:** Please provide records **electronically** (PDF or native format) by email to marverickways@gmail.com or through your portal. I do not need paper copies.
**Fees:** This request is for business (commercial) research purposes. **Please send me a written fee estimate before incurring any charges over $25**, and identify the basis for each charge. If a portion of the request is unusually broad, please contact me to narrow it rather than denying it.
**If you deny any part:** please cite the specific exemption for each withheld record, release all reasonably segregable portions, and tell me the appeal/review process.
**Timing:** Please acknowledge receipt and let me know the expected response date. Under Freedom of Information Act, a written denial is due within 4 business days (Conn. Gen. Stat. § 1-206); the Act sets no fixed production deadline.
If another office is the proper custodian for any part of this request, please forward it or tell me who to contact.
