We’ve all been there—several quiet weeks from senior campus leadership, followed suddenly by an influx of requests for detailed financial data. Sometimes it’s driven by the approach of budget proposal season; other times, it reflects a new leader seeking a clarity on how efficiently the athletics program operates.
In those moments, leaders don’t just need access to data—they need to quickly extract, present, and stand behind it. Whether it's preparing budget justifications, meeting with head coaches, presenting to executive leadership, or reporting out to the board, the ability to export clear, credible insights signals the difference between reacting and confidently defending decisions. Other platforms house the data—but AD Vantage's unique value lies in how easily that data can be put to work for you.
At AD Vantage we’re here to make that request land a little softer so you can take a breath and say, “I’ll send something right over." Not only can you send your program's data– you can also send peer institutional data to compare and contrast in real-time with conference or non-conference opponents.
Take a look at this video below. We show you how you can save time and export your data quickly and effectively. Please note there is no audio on the video:
Click “Create A New Report”
Select Sports (can select multiple and they will populate on separate tabs)
Select Year of Financial Reports
Type in a Filename
Option to Save as a Template (to use for future reports of similar style)
Export Spreadsheet
Download Report (to save and access your data)
Option to Repeat (for reports of different sports/years for further analysis)
In moments of heightened scrutiny, access to data isn’t enough. Athletic directors need data they can quickly export, clearly present, and confidently defend—without spending valuable time rebuilding visuals or chasing reports, freeing them to focus on the decisions and relationships only they can lead.
Running successful D1 programs is multi-faceted and priorities change daily. Exporting reports on your data should be the easiest thing you do all day. Let’s help change the narrative around requesting data. It shouldn’t be daunting, “I’ll save this for later when I have time to figure it out” or “I wonder if I can delegate this to someone else”. It’s about time you have your data at your fingertips, so that you can keep your eye on what really matters– the people that power your programs.
