What is your analysis of these reports? How correct are they? What are pros and cons?
Ralph, IMO, some of the figures reported are highly suspect, others seem to be reasonably accurate. If you look at enough of the reports over a period of several years, you begin to notice which ones are way off kilter. (Balancing revs and expenses to the dollar is usually one sign that something isn't right.)

For years there's been much confusion over the lack of clarity in EADA reporting methods. The NCAA has moved recently to implement a more consistent means of accounting for the purposes of EADAs. The new accounting methodology takes place this year.

At this point, I'm not sure we can totally trust EADA reports to do an apples-to-apples comparisons of NCAA schools. In lieu of schools opening up their books to public scrutiny though (or revealing the EADA Worksheet numbers), the reports are the best info we're likely to get.
