We have just launched ESPNALPS http://www.espnalps.com - an experimental open API to collect local sports data from College Lacrosse and Basketball Games. We have also announced a competition open to college students to see what kinds of apps they can write against the API. We welcome any kind of feedback you may have.
Currently the registration for competition is open to College students with .edu email addresses.
