Donations
The Associate Athletic Director for Business prepares the revenue budget based
on either actual data (e.g., contracted amounts) or historical trends. The UNCW
Athletic Department Management Team reviews the revenue budget to determine
the actual revenue projection. (see Appendix B: 2)
In the event that actual income falls short of budget projections, budget revisions
may be made.
Expense Estimates
Each staff member with budgetary responsibilities is asked to project the actual
cost of operations to perform the required functions of his/her sport or
administrative area. Priority is given to salaries, team and recruiting travel, and
other operating accounts. Capital needs are funded according to projected reserves
after other needs are addressed.
Preliminary budget requests, including support documentation of details for
wages, travel, equipment and capital expenses, are submitted to the Associate
Athletic Director for Business for review. The schedules are combined into a total
"Requested" Budget. Then the UNCW Athletics Management Team members
review the "Requested" Budget and make necessary adjustments, ensuring
compliance with University guidelines.
Budget Approval
With the approval of the Director of Athletics, the final Department of Athletics
budget is submitted to the Chancellor and the Board of Supervisors. Budget
hearings may be held to resolve any points of contention.
