ROA Participating Institutions Reaches 40

ROA Participating Institutions Reaches 40

The NAIA is excited to announce that 40 schools have submitted their student-athlete level data for analysis through Return on Athletics™ (ROA)! This marks significant growth from the initial eight schools that took part in the pilot program in 2017-18.

ROA data analytics will identify institutional opportunities to increase the value of athletics through:

  • Year-over-year comparisons to assess athletics’ effectiveness in driving institutional goals
  • Peer institution comparisons to identify potential options for growth and effectiveness
  • A net revenue calculator that provides estimated revenue based on the number of athletes, discount rate, retention, and expenses

Detailed findings based on the data and the launch of our member-facing ROA tools will be shared at the NAIA National Convention, April 11-15, 2019. It’s not too late to submit ROA data and gain access to the analytics tools, though the process will not be completed prior to the convention.

Contact Alan Grosbach at 816.595.8120. We hope to see you in April!
