I feel it is time to stand by CalPreps as they have ceased operations due to non-payment of its only revenue stream CBS, who owns MaxPreps who has a contract they have reneged upon. Paramount the Parent company last Tuesday announced major layoffs that eliminated hundreds of jobs. If you're under contract, you should pay up. As a result of this circumstance, we have no CalPreps. thanks CBS aka MaxPreps. I can tell you that we all can make a call in support of what they do for us the sport fan. We pay for their content, why can't MaxPreps aka CBS aka Paramount. I personally unless CBS aka MaxPreps pays its bills, will not support CBS products.
Please call 1-800-329-7324 and ask Maxpreps to pay CalPreps !!
SHUTDOWN NOTICE: As many fans of our site know, we are contracted to provide data (national schedules/scores/ratings/projections/league+division alignments) to MaxPreps. Recently, for the eighth time since aquiring MaxPreps in 2007, CBS went back into breach and is willfully refusing for some unknown reason to act in a legal fashion and honor their legal/contractual obligations in terms of paying money owed to calpreps. We are out of funds at this point and have been forced to cease operations.
As you'd expect, we are in the process of suing CBS to recover owed monies plus damages, but that will no doubt not be resolved until many months or years after the conclusion of the 2024 playoffs, so we encourage any section/state associations who were relying on our ratings in order to run your playoffs this season to apply any pressure you may have the pull to apply to the rogue CBS accounting department, to attempt to presuade them to finally start to act in accordance with federal contract law. Thank you and we're sorry it's come to this, but frankly it was destined to never work with a company owned by CBS. We hope to partner with a non-CBS owned company in future seasons, but it's presumably not reasonable to expect that a deal could be struck with another company during the 2024 season, but if you are such a company and have interest, our ears are certainly open.
