Equity in Athletics Data Analysis

A federal law passed by the U.S. Congress in 1994 that requires coeducational colleges and universities that participate in federal student financial aid programs to publicly disclose information regarding their intercollegiate athletic programs.

Key requirements of the EADA

Every year (by October 15), member institutions must submit a comprehensive survey to the U.S. Department of Education. This data details how resources are split between men's and women's programs, covering:

Participation Rates: The number of male and female varsity athletes, broken down by teams (e.g., how many play football, basketball, soccer, etc.).

Operating Expenses: The funds spent on game-day operations, travel, equipment, and daily administration, divided by men's and women's teams.

Recruiting Expenses: Money spent on scouting and bringing prospective athletes to campus, categorized by gender.

Key requirements of the EADA

Head Coaches and Assistant Coaches Salaries: The average salaries paid to coaches for men's teams versus women's teams, along with data on whether coaches are full-time, part-time, or volunteers.

Athletic Student Aid: The amount of scholarship and financial assistance awarded to male versus female athletes.

Total Revenues and Expenses: The overall revenue generated by and expenses incurred by men's and women's athletic programs as a whole

Initial Eligibility

Before a student-athlete (SA) can step onto a college campus, they must be certified by the NCAA Eligibility Center.

What is the 16 Core-Course Rule?

SAs must complete 16 units in specific areas (English, Math, Science, Social Science).

What is the 10/7 rule?

0 core courses must be completed before the start of the 7th semester (senior year) of high school. 7 of those 10 must be in English, Math, or Science.

What is the sliding scale?

A historical tool that balances Core-Course GPA with SAT/ACT scores.A historical tool that balances Core-Course GPA with SAT/ACT scores.

Current Trend

Many DI/DII schools have moved away from requiring standardized tests for initial eligibility, though they may still be used for institutional admissions.

Qualifier vs. Nonqualifier

Qualifier: Can practice, compete, and receive aid.

Academic Redshirt

Can practice and receive aid, but cannot compete in Year 1. Recently changed with the 5 in 5.

40/60/80 Rule

Percentage of course load you have to have completed.

Before Year 3 (5th Semester)

Must have completed at least 40% of designated degree program.

Before Year 4 (7th Semester)

Must have completed at least 60% of designated degree program.

Before Year 5 (9th Semester)

Must have completed at least 80% of designated degree program.

GPA Requirement

It's not just about passing; your GPA must also scale up as you progress

. Year 2: 90% of the minimum GPA for graduation (usually a 1.8).

Year 3: 95% of the minimum GPA (usually a 1.9).

Year 4+: 100% of the minimum GPA (usually a 2.0).

The 6 hour rule

You must earn at least 6 credit hours in the previous full-time term to be eligible for the next term.

the 18/24 Hour Rule

You must earn 24 hours of academic credit before your second year. After that, you must earn at least 18 hours during every academic year (fall and spring combined).

Declaration of Major

By the start of your third year (5th semester), you must officially declare a major. From that point forward, only credits that apply directly to that specific degree count toward the 40/60/80 percentages.

APR

The APR is a "real-time" measurement of a team's academic performance. It is calculated term-by-term and is very sensitive to players leaving the program or failing classes.

How is APR Calculated

Every student-athlete on scholarship earns two points per semester:

Eligibility Point: Earned if the athlete stays academically eligible.

Retention Point: Earned if the athlete stays enrolled at the school.

The Magic Number

Teams must maintain a multiyear APR of 930 to compete in championships.

Penalties

If a team falls below 930, they can face "Level One" penalties (reduced practice time) up to "Level Three" penalties (postseason bans).

The “Coach’s Stressor”

Because it's calculated annually, a few players "flunking out" or transfer

GSR

While the APR looks at the now, the GSR looks at the finish line. It measures the percentage of studentathletes who graduate within six years of entering school.
