THE CORE DESKS
Where the roots and reach already exist.
IDAHO TENNESSEE CALIFORNIA

THE PRIORITY FOOTPRINTTwenty-four rotating states.
Twenty-four rotating states.
Three regional desks.
The wider footprint stays organized state by state. California and Tennessee remain visible here geographically, but no longer have to wait for a rotation to receive attention.
The SEC and ACC footprint translated into state-level reporting—not conference fandom.
The remaining priority states connected to the same athlete, family, school and institutional questions.
THE WEEKLY ROTATION
Focus without losing the field.
Idaho, Tennessee and California remain active every week. Two additional states move into focused monitoring, sourcing and circulation.
01The three core desks remain active.
Idaho is home; Tennessee and California reflect established roots, relationships and audience reach.
02Two states receive deeper focus.
Radar monitoring, sourcing and distribution concentrate without forcing a publishing quota.
03Evidence still decides.
A rotation creates attention—not filler. Nothing publishes simply because a state is on the schedule.

We follow the consequence.
A local issue can reveal a national system. A national rule can land differently in one school, family or program. NHN covers both directions while keeping the record clear about what is known, where it applies and who it affects.
