The University Athletics Financial Playbook shows athletic departments how to turn coaching compensation, staff retention, and booster giving into renewable resources instead of one-time costs. Built around the Endless Loop Series from Baycrest Consultants, it's organized into four practical Playbooks — Executive Compensation, Employee Retention, Capital Planning, and Legacy Giving — with real scenarios showing how to ease coaching excise tax exposure, retain top staff, and turn booster and NIL fatigue into sustained support.
