The process by which a college uses athletics to enhance enrollment for financial benefit. This practice involves leveraging a college's athletic programs and successes to attract prospective students, who may be more inclined to apply and enroll due to the visibility and reputation of the college's sports teams. This can have a significant impact on a college's enrollment numbers, as well as its overall financial health, through increased tuition revenue and other associated benefits.

In higher education, "activity-based costing (ABC)" involves allocating direct costs and tuition revenue and apportioning indirect costs among academic units to assess their financial performance and profitability. This type of analysis can help colleges and universities understand the financial dynamics of their academic programs and make informed decisions about resource allocation and program management.

Enterprise risk management (ERM) is a process by which a college's academic, financial, and operational risk drivers are identified and strategies are created to reduce or eliminate those risks. The process involves a structured and coordinated approach to identifying, assessing, and managing the full range of risks faced by an organization, including those related to its academic programs, financial operations, and overall business activities.

Within the higher education context, ERM aims to provide a comprehensive framework for understanding and addressing risks that may impact the institution's ability to achieve its strategic objectives, fulfill its academic mission, and maintain financial stability. This process typically involves assessing both internal and external risks, developing risk mitigation strategies, and integrating risk management practices into the college's overall decision-making and planning processes.
