Feasibility Studies

The advent of consulting services for intercollegiate athletics enables colleges and universities to hire experienced consultants to assist them in exploring issues and answering questions that will direct the future of their intercollegiate athletics programs. Towards this end, a feasibility study is an opportunity for an institution to explore the “big questions” surrounding a potential change to an intercollegiate athletics program.

Alden & Associates, Inc. has conducted feasibility studies for numerous colleges and universities. Some of the areas listed below serve as examples of our feasibility studies:

• Transition among NCAA divisional membership.
   

• Initiation and sponsorship of varsity football.
    

• Conference affiliation—both as an independent or current conference member.
    

• Issues related to sports sponsorship.

We provide a comprehensive approach to our work—from reading and analyzing shared data and information, to visiting the campus and interviewing various constituencies. We then prepare a thorough report with recommendations which aids in the implementation process. We take great pride in our work and have witnessed many positive changes as a result of our recommendations.
