TitleScope — College Athletics Financial & Title IX Intelligence

The U.S. Department of Education publishes every college’s athletics finances and gender-participation numbers each year in the Equity in Athletics Data Analysis (EADA) bulk files — but only as raw, one-year-at-a-time spreadsheets. The free government cutting tool stops at those raw numbers, and the best-known free database (Knight-Newhouse) only covers D-I public schools. TitleScope assembles the part nobody sells: an all-institution (D-I/II/III, NAIA, NJCAA and more — public and private), multi-year, sport-by-sport panel keyed to the IPEDS UnitID, with the derived Title IX gender-equity metrics the raw files never assemble — the proportionality gap (the Prong-1 red flag), per-athlete economics, women/men parity ratios, and within-division percentiles.

Preview-only page. It shows the structure and capability of this dataset using a small, representative sample. The proportionality gap, the women-to-men spend ratio, the within-division expense percentile, and the per-record quality score — the derived, sellable columns — are withheld here, and the full panel is not downloadable from this page. It is provided separately after licensing.

Coverage & headline figures

Built from the U.S. Dept. of Education’s free, keyless EADA bulk endpoints, parsed into a clean SQLite panel and enriched with deterministic gender-equity formulas. No LLM, no API key, no login — rule-based and reproducible.

Association mix: NCAA 1,090 · NJCAA 468 · NAIA 240 · CCCAA 113 · USCAA 48 · NCCAA 40 · NWAC 32. Control: 1,193 public · 887 private nonprofit · 24 private for-profit. In 2024, 1,248 institutions field a women’s athlete share more than 10pp below their enrollment share, and 7,923 institution-years across the panel clear the >5pp Prong-1 red-flag threshold. 99.4% of institution-years pass the weighted quality bar (target: 80%+).

  • EADA data-file API (ope.ed.gov/athletics/api/dataFiles/…) → the survey-year catalog and the annual zip per year.

What’s in it — schema

Four cross-linked tables, all keyed on the IPEDS unitid. institution_years is the headline deliverable — the all-institution, multi-year financial & Title IX panel; sport_year is the sport-level detail that rolls up into it.

A representative slice of NCAA Division I-FBS programs for survey year 2024 — the kind of cross-school comparison the panel makes trivial. Institution, division, total athletic expense, and women’s-athlete counts are shown; the proportionality gap and the women-to-men spend ratio — the proprietary, sellable derived columns — are redacted. Eight of 9,989 institution-years; ordering is by expense and does not reflect the gap.
