The Sanford Sports Analytics Center has shared sports data with many sports teams across the country. The program took the next step when 10 students traveled to England to pitch for Cambridge United Football Club. Samford University's Darin White told WVTM13 the project started last July for Sanford students. “This is a really unique and special opportunity,” White said. They claim to have collected over 9,000 games in the EFL, the league to which Cambridge United Football Club belongs. It was a match over eight years. “It's going to cost them time,” White told WVTM13. The students pitched their findings to England's top executives at Cambridge United Football Club. Cambridge United have already asked Samford to return next. Another project year.
