One service on file. Ratings are stored per service and never averaged, so a second lands beside this one rather than changing it.

Availability
Active

ESPN, read Sep 29, 2:18 PM · no free source publishes a report time for a college availability, so this is when GIC last read it

Awards & Honours

No honours are on file. Conference and national awards are announced by the bodies that give them and published by no free feed, so none is inferred from a stat line.
