It highlights Stevie Baker-Watson from DePauw University, Associate VP for Campus Wellness and Theodore Katula Director of Athletics and Recreational Sports, as a presenter. The presentation delves into 'Systems to Hold Us Accountable,' outlining key questions and tools for financial management. These include analyzing past spending with a 4-year rolling average, defining future spending through 'Guiding Financial Philosophies,' determining competition scope via the 'Coach Worksheet,' monitoring current spending with a 'Zero Based Budget Tool,' and consolidating resources using a 'Values Matrix.' A significant portion of the document is dedicated to the detailed breakdown of the 'Four Year Rolling Average' for various athletic programs. This section provides a comparative analysis of budgets, actual spending, and revenue from 2012-2015, with comments offering context on discrepancies and strategic decisions. Specific examples include explanations for increased spending on meals for the Athletic Director, product increases for Athletic Training, baseball budget adjustments due to travel and tournament considerations, and men's basketball spending related to intramural play and tournament travel. The data further details expenses for Men's Cross Country, Women's Cross Country, Field Hockey, Football, Men's Golf, and Women's Golf, often noting travel expenditures and participation in tournaments like the NCAC. This comprehensive financial overview serves as a critical tool for accountability and strategic planning within collegiate athletic departments.",{"@graph":63,"@context":119},[64,80,102],{"@type":65,"itemListElement":66},"BreadcrumbList",[67,71,74,77],{"item":68,"name":69,"@type":70,"position":9},"https://docshare.wps.com","Home","ListItem",{"item":72,"name":10,"@type":70,"position":73},"https://docshare.wps.com/template/",2,{"item":75,"name":11,"@type":70,"position":76},"https://docshare.wps.com/template/presentations/",3,{"item":78,"name":59,"@type":70,"position":79},"https://docshare.wps.com/template/athletics-budgeting-the-athletics-budget-is-a-unicorn/243676/",4,{"url":78,"name":59,"@type":81,"image":82,"author":87,"headline":59,"publisher":90,"fileFormat":93,"inLanguage":57,"description":61,"dateModified":94,"datePublished":95,"encodingFormat":93,"isAccessibleForFree":96,"interactionStatistic":97},"DigitalDocument",{"url":83,"@type":84,"width":85,"height":86},"https://docshare.wps.com/thumbnails/athletics-budgeting-the-athletics-budget-is-a-unicorn/243676.png","ImageObject",442,249,{"name":88,"@type":89},"Arica
