User Experience Data will be comparable by:  Division;  Conference;  Private or public status; and  User defined peer groups. Data will be able to be viewed/“cut” in multiple ways:  Overall;  By gender;  By ethnicity; and  By sport. Data will be viewable by year and via trend.

Examples of Current Uses Salary data comparisons for head coaches. Conference realignment considerations. Assessing cost of having a particular sport. Assessing conference membership standards. Student body and student-athlete comparison.
