I’m mobile and out of pocket this weekend and haven’t had a chance to play w/ it... quick look is interesting but one limiting factor is it’s only pubic colleges and universities (No ND, Stanford, BC, etc...)

Knight Commission Unveils New College Sports Financial Database

>> In an effort to inject more financial transparency into college sports, the Knight Commission on Intercollegiate Athletics has unveiled a revamped and innovative College Athletics Financial Information (CAFI) Database. The new resource provides unprecedented access to athletics revenues, expenses, and debt as well as institution-wide academic spending for more than 220 public NCAA Division I colleges and universities dating back to 2005.<<

>>The free, open-access database provides telling documentation of major college sports finances, at a time when institutions face lawsuits to direct more financial benefits to student-athletes. For the first time, database users are able to view rich graphics that demonstrate, by institution, conference or competitive subdivision, “Where the Money Comes From” and “Where the Money Goes” in college sports.<<

>>The database graphics clearly illustrate how much a particular school or university spends on specific areas like coaches’ salaries, administrative salaries, facilities and equipment, recruiting, and medical expenses. Additionally, the financial tool breaks out funding from specific revenue sources like NCAA and conference television and media agreements, ticket sales, corporate sponsorship, advertising, licensing, and student fees.<<

This is neat and encapsulates all the above board stuff. I'm more interested in a road map of the under-table-finances. What a treasure trove that would be.

So we bring in 40% more revenue than the average FBS athletic department but spend about 60% of what the average AD spends on football coaches. And it’s a huge mystery why we suck.

As I said, nobody does bureaucracy like the State of Connecticut. Nailed it.

When your admin expenses are twice as much as the FBS average, somebody's got some 'splaining to do.

Correct me if I'm wrong here, but shouldn't that orange line run from 2014-18?

Kind of a big mistake. I'm available for proofreading for a reasonable fee.

You should contact the commission and let them know that you’re available. But I think it’s more of a program in glitch than a proofreading issue
