THE SPORTS QUOTIENT

The Sports Quotient (SQ) is an American digital media company that seeks to raise readers’ “sports quotient” or “SQ,” by producing articles that bring an atypically analytical approach to sports. The website launched in September 2012 when several University of Pennsylvania undergrads teamed up with students from Duke, Johns Hopkins and Yale universities. Now, it is home to over 150 analytical young sports writers from over 70 universities across the nation who specialize in creating... stimulating and opinionated content that informs and engages readers. The SQ features a range of statistical content that includes analytics articles, breaking news reports, video commentary, podcasts, viral media, fantasy sports hotlines, and a sports IQ quiz. The SQ has given expert opinions on the World Chess Championship on FiveThirtyEight, SEC football in USA Today’s SEC Caucus, and NBA Playoffs previews on TickPick. Additionally, the site has done numerous interviews with professional sports figures, such as an interview with St. Louis Cardinals pitcher Adam Wainwright that was aired on FOX Sports and with racecar driver and Survivor contestant Julia Landauer featured on The Huffington Post.More
