➤ Facility priorities for the Matadors: “We're in a facility that was constructed in 1963 for our indoor sports. Our outdoor sports we've done quite a bit of work on in the last 10 years, but we need a new indoor facility. And a lot of my conversation with [President Reetika Dhawan] has been about that. … The championship structure's changing with the NJCAA and we're trying to put ourselves in a position where we can host some post-season events on our campus. So we're drawing down that line as quickly as we can and we still need to make some improvements in order to do that.”

➤ Growth for the department: “We've not added any sports here actually since I've been here. We're trying to bolster. When I came, we were about 40% funded at this institution, and now we're 100% funded in terms of scholarships. So it's been big steps and a lot of resources and a lot of support from the administration.”

➤ On external financial pressures: “Obviously one of our biggest threats is cost because transportation more than anything else, our location is in a unique place. We're right in the southwest corner of Arizona, so we're not strategically located to a lot of the other NJCAA schools as California is not a member of the NJCAA. So our nearest competition outside of our conference is about 10 hours. So obviously transportation's been a big discussion on our campus really for the last five years.” (link)

➤ Organizations deploying AI against an organization-wide strategy report clear ROI at a 37% rate, compared to just 2% for those adopting tools one department at a time.

➤ Respondents cited integrating existing systems as their top planned investment (58%), while only 12% plan to replace a core system. Buyers prioritize accuracy (77%) and data security (65%) far above the sophistication of the underlying model (9%) when evaluating new products.

➤ Athletic departments historically purchased separate software platforms for different internal functions, leaving medical data in one system, scouting data in another, and performance metrics in a third. Because AI requires unified data to function effectively, this fragmentation severely limits its ability to generate actionable insights. When an organization consolidates its data into a connected record (one to three systems), AI tools can analyze the complete athlete profile to produce a clear return on investment—defined by the report as measurable financial gains or definitively improved operational decisions—67% of the time. When that data remains scattered across a fragmented record (four or more systems), AI tools fail to connect the dots, causing the ROI success rate to plummet to just one in eight. (link)
