Who is Athletics Admin?
Athletics Admin is a team of athletic administration and higher education professionals committed to helping college athletic departments solve problems, generate revenue and complete important projects.
Our team and professional network include current and former athletic directors, coaches, administrators, professors and industry specialists. We have professionals with J.D. and Ph.D. credentials, along with extensive experience working in collegiate athletics, higher education, nonprofit organizations and the broader sports industry.
Collectively, our experience touches nearly every area of athletic administration, including revenue generation, fundraising, corporate partnerships, communications, marketing, licensing, apparel agreements, executive searches, strategic planning and day-to-day athletic department operations.

Why are Athletics Admin’s services so affordable?
Our pricing is intentional. Athletics Admin is centered on supporting student-athletes, and we believe the money an athletic department saves by working with us should remain on campus to enhance the student-athlete experience.
We also operate specialty jersey programs, auctions and other revenue-generating initiatives that help subsidize portions of our operation. Select grants, partnerships and supplemental revenue sources allow us to keep our overhead low, our pricing accessible and our output high.
Our goal is not to create unnecessary expenses or sell an institution more than it needs. We want to provide high-quality athletic department consulting and project support at a price that makes sense for colleges and universities of different sizes and resource levels.

Does Athletics Admin have experience with the project or challenge we are facing?
Most likely, yes—and the best place to start is with a conversation.
Athletics Admin has a wide range of experience across collegiate athletics and higher education. Our work has included revenue generation, annual giving, fundraising, corporate partnerships, communications, marketing, licensing, apparel negotiations, specialty jersey auctions, executive searches, feasibility studies, RFP Assistance, research, strategic planning, artificial intelligence, workflow development and fractional staffing.
Some institutions contact us with a clearly defined project. Others simply explain the challenge they are facing and ask us to help identify the right solution. We can assist with full projects, provide short-term support or supplement the work of an existing athletic department staff.

What types of schools and companies does Athletics Admin work with?
Athletics Admin works with institutions and organizations throughout the collegiate athletics and higher education landscape.
Our partners have included NCAA Division I athletic departments, NCAA Division II institutions, junior colleges, conferences and companies that provide products or services within higher education and college athletics.
We understand that every institution has a different mission, budget, staffing structure and set of priorities. Our approach is customized to the needs of each partner rather than built around a one-size-fits-all consulting model. Whether an organization is managing a major strategic initiative or needs additional help completing a specific project, we provide practical support that aligns with its resources and goals.

How does working with Athletics Admin begin?
Every Athletics Admin partnership begins with a conversation about the institution’s goals, challenges, timeline and available resources.
After learning more about the project, we develop a practical scope of work that identifies the services, deliverables, responsibilities and pricing associated with the engagement. Depending on the need, Athletics Admin may lead the entire project, work alongside existing staff or provide specialized support in a specific area.
We prioritize clear communication, realistic expectations and usable results. Our goal is to reduce the workload on athletic department staff while providing solutions that create value beyond the completion of the project.
Whether your institution needs help generating new revenue, completing a strategic project or expanding its administrative capacity, Athletics Admin is built to meet you where you are.
