6. The IPP Data Management System
Purpose, Key Points and Launch

7. The IPP Data Management System - Purpose
To provide institutional leaders with vital and significant data to assist with planning, performance and oversight of their intercollegiate athletics program.
Primary audience is the chancellor/president and other institutional leaders.
Committee recognizes others will use the data management system.
Broad-based review of the data is encouraged.

8. The IPP Data Management System – Key Points
Consolidates data currently being submitted by institutions into a more user-friendly program.
Areas of focus: academics, students, leadership and financial.
Stresses support for institutions rather than compliance with guidelines.

9. The IPP Data Management System – Key Points, (cont.)
Facilitates informed decision-making and strategic planning.
Permits comparison with other institutions.
Existing peer groups (e.g., conference, subdivision, all of Division I).
Aspirational peers.
Creation of peer groups specific to each user.

10. The IPP Data Management System – Key Points, (cont.)

11. The IPP Data Management System – Launch

13. Possible Future Initiatives
Student-Athlete Experience, Rules Compliance, Academic Support and Inclusion

14. Student-Athlete Experience
Two potential components for future inclusion into IPP:
Health and safety survey.
Student-athlete experience survey.

15. Student-Athlete Experience
Health and Safety Survey:
Almost half of all Division I athletic trainers completed pilot survey.
Data collected in this survey cannot be found elsewhere in the medical community.
Has the potential to be extremely helpful to health care practitioners and institutional leaders.

16. Student-Athlete Experience
Student-Athlete Experience Survey:
Over 30 institutions agreed to participate in the voluntary student-athlete experience survey.
Over 3,000 Division I student-athletes completed the pilot survey.
NCAA research staff is compiling results.

17. Rules Compliance Evaluation
The Committee on Institutional Performance discussed the possibility of including a once-in-four-years rules compliance review as a best practice within IPP.
Committee is engaged with the National Association for Athletics Compliance and the Collegiate Commissioners Association Compliance Administrators groups to develop this best practice.
Will be provided to membership after the committee’s July 2015 meeting.

18. Academic Support Services Evaluation
Academics Subcommittee recommended receiving feedback from the following groups regarding whether an academic support services review should be a required element of IPP:
Committee on Academics;
NCAA Division I Council;
FARA; and
National Association of Academic Advisors for Athletics.

19. Inclusion Review
Review of data included within the Students and Leadership categories should not serve as a Title IX review for Division I institutions.
Data should be used to provide insight into gender equity, recognizing that additional questions and information is needed.
Once-in-four-years inclusion review as best practice.

20. Call to Action Inform campus leaders IPP will launch June 1st.
Organize broad-based group to review data.
Identify point person on campus.
Manage SSO administrator accounts on campus.
