247Sports is a network of websites that focus mainly on college football and basketball recruiting.

History

The network was started in 2010, and has been cited as a source by other sports news media, including Bleacher Report,[2] the Dallas Morning News[3] and the Washington Post.[4] The site has also provided special reports on recruiting to sports news media including Sports Illustrated.[5]

On November 28, 2012, 247Sports announced a content partnership with CBS, in which 247Sports would provide content for CBS Sports digital platforms (including CBSSports.com), and CBS Sports Digital would handle advertising sales for the site.[6][7] The site was purchased by CBS Corporation in December 2015.[8]

In May 2013, the company signed a long-term agreement to become the official online selection partner of the U.S. Army All-American Bowl and the U.S. Army National Combine, replacing its competitor Rivals.com.[9]
