Using Data to Enhance Value
The foundation of ROA is the collection and analysis of institution, sport, and student-level data:
- Schools submit data annually in the areas of enrollment, retention, financial aid, sport revenues and expenses, and student participation level.
- ROA Insights leverages simple and consistent calculations for measuring and comparing athletic department performance across nearly 250 small colleges.
- ROA Insights saves time by providing centralized and convenient online access to robust athletic department data
