Russ Morin
Founder · D-I Compliance Professional
Russ founded Qualifi to give families the same clarity Division I athletic departments rely on daily. With 4+ years of full-time NCAA D-I compliance experience, he lives inside the academic rulebook.
He translates core-course, core-GPA, and 10/7 requirements into decisions parents, athletes, and counselors can act on. Qualifi is focused entirely on academic eligibility, not recruiting.
Russ holds a Master’s in Sports Management, a Doctorate in Global Sport Leadership, and the Sports Industry Essentials certificate. The approach: read the transcript, apply the rules, deliver a plan.
