WHAT IF . . . the athletic program at your school was revenue-producing instead of depleting the budget. . . AND . . . at the same time, significantly increased enrollment?!!! Well, it could happen! Would You Like For Your Athletic Program to Be Revenue-Producing While Significantly Increasing Your Institution’s Enrollment? Allow the individual who has administered revenue-producing/enrollment increasing athletic programs at four distinctly different colleges to consult with you personally concerning how to set such a plan (The Quota Plan of Recruiting) in motion at your school. Bill Elder, Ph.D.: An Overview Bill Elder’s recent retirement brought to close an outstanding 40-year career as a coach and administrator in college athletics.

The Quota Plan of Recruiting is devised to take in more money from student/athletes than is spent for the overall athletic program while increasing an institution’s enrollment. All conceivable expenses are considered and adjusted for. How does the Quota Plan Work? The genius of the system is simple. By offering a limited number of athletic scholarships and requiring each coach to recruit a designated number of athletes, your institution will be able to generate a significant amount of money over and above all expenses – money that otherwise would not be available. At the same time, the process significantly increases your school’s enrollment, filling dormitories, etc. What are the Potential Benefits of the Quota Plan? There are many potential benefits of the Quota Plan, but the primary ones are:

Why Should You Choose Dr. Bill Elder to Initiate This Program at Your School? Dr. Bill Elder brings a wealth of experience to the field of sports consulting. With forty years of success at the college level in a variety of positions including Athletic Director, Head Men’s Basketball Coach, Chairperson of the Department of Health, Physical Education and Recreation, and Professor/Instructor, Dr. Elder is familiar with every facet of athletics. Dr. Elder has had the unique opportunity of initiating the Quota Plan of Recruiting at four distinctly different schools. He has put this program in place at a school that previously had no athletic program, at an academically prestigious NCAA III institution, at a private college with a multi-year history of athletics and at a medium sized state university. Elder designed his Quota Plan of Recruiting when he initiated an athletic program at the University of Mobile in Mobile, Alabama. The Quota Plan was immediately successful, helping the athletic program grow from two sports and 15 athletes in 1985 to 15 sports and 290 in 1995. The Athletic Department not only produced a significant amount of positive cash flow but also became one of the top programs in the NAIA. At LeTourneau University, Elder put the Quota Plan of Recruiting in place during his second year there to coincide with the institution’s move from the NAIA to NCAA III. He increased the number of sports at the Longview, Texas, school from seven to thirteen while helping the program become financially sound. During his four-year tenure at Lindsey Wilson College in Columbia, Kentucky, his initiation of the Quota Plan of Recruiting was responsible for increasing the number of athletes involved in the program from 357 to 458, producing a significant amount of positive cash flow. His efforts laid the ground-work for Lindsey Wilson to become one of the top athletic programs in the NAIA. He also integrated the Quota Plan of Recruiting into the system at a medium sized state school – Auburn University Montgomery in Montgomery, Alabama – during his last stop before his recent retirement. Elder has had twenty plus years of experience related to administering the Quota Plan of Recruiting. During this time, he has been able to refine this program to a point where it is easily adapted to any institution. Taking into consideration his practical experience with this unique and complex program, he is generally considered one of the leading authorities in the nation related to making athletic programs at colleges revenue-producing while concurrently increasing the school’s enrollments. Why Shouldn’t We Just Try to Initiate This Program on Our Own? The Quota Plan of recruiting is simple in concept but can become quite complex in its administration. Dr. Elder has perfected this program over the years to a point where most, if not all, of the potential trouble spots have been eliminated. If an institution tries to initiate this program without a complete understanding of its complexities, there is a possibility that the school could actually increase its financial and/or enrollment problems. Elder will provide the techniques, training, forms, etc. to assure that your Athletic Department’s personnel (if they follow his recommendations) can administer the Quota Plan of recruiting in such a manner that it can achieve its enrollment and financial, goals. How Much will It Cost to Initiate the Quota Plan? The consulting charge will vary related to the extent of services provided. Praise for the Quota Plan of Recruiting “The Quota Plan of recruiting founded by Dr. Bill Elder was implemented by Missouri Baptist University to attract not only qualified student-athletes to our University but also increase the number of sports. With this ingenious plan, we increased our sports teams from eight to twenty-three, and our enrollment has more than tripled with over six hundred student-athletes participating in programs that compete for NAIA National Championships every season. This plan has been in place the last ten years culminating with winning the National Championships in both Women’s Indoor and Outdoor Track during the same year in 2006. The Quota Plan works because it was well conceived, easy to implement, and cost effective to maintain.” — Lowell Pitzer, former Athletic Director, Missouri Baptist University “Having been a Director and Dean of Admissions and Financial Aid and heavily involved in athletic recruiting, I can attest to the fact that the Quota Plan of recruiting works. The model develop by Dr. Bill Elder is well prepared, researched, and implementation based for success. The plan is designed to increase enrollments, maximize participation, and effectively capture the much needed capital that colleges and universities need to become competitive.” — Claude Bacon, former Director of Admissions at Kentucky Wesleyan College and Lindsey Wilson College “Praise for the Quota Plan of Recruiting to come” — Joe Zakowicz, Athletic Director, Mid-Continent University Contact Information |
