What Intercollegiate Athletes Wish Faculty Knew

Intercollegiate student - athletes in the United States are in an unusual position as both students admitted to the university with declared majors and as athletes under contract with the athletic team to which they have been selected. As such, and much more so than students from other categories, intercollegiate student - athletes are expected to maintain a satisfactory grade point average and make satisfactory progress toward their degree in order to maintain athletic eligibility. This is done while practicing around 20 hours a week and traveling to competitions on a regular basis. This study surveyed 250 student - athletes at two universities to determine if these student - athletes had recommendations for faculty and if they felt faculty were aware of their unique academic needs. One open ended question and three Likert scale questions were asked. The findings indicated that faculty do not create assignments with student - athlete needs in mind. Recommendations were then made for how faculty might better meet the needs of student athletes. Keywords: Intercollegiate athletics, Student - athlete, Academic success, Higher educatio

National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Division I Men\u27s Basketball Final Tour

Intercollegiate athletic competitions have been taking place for well over 150 years. The National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) was created to oversee and regulate member school athletic competitions. The NCAA has three athletic divisions, Division I, II, and III. The NCAA currently hosts eighty-nine championships each year. This writing focuses on one of those contests, the NCAA Division I Men\u27s Basketball Final Four. In particular, this writing focuses on the 75th Anniversary Division I Men\u27s Basketball Final Four held in Atlanta, Georgia, in 2013. Specifically, this writing looks at what it takes to become a host city for the contest, how a host city is chosen, how the host city will put together a successful team to market and promote the contest, and the plan to fulfill the NCAA mission as well as the mission of the event itself. The host city committee strives to ensure attendees of the NCAA Division I Men\u27s Basketball Final Four enjoy a weekend of basketball games, safety, and other activities while giving back to the host city through this major sporting event

Formalization in intercollegiate athletics: Development of a policies and procedures manual

Intercollegiate athletics in the 1980\u27s has undergone a series of crises which appear to have resulted in increased formalization, both within the National Collegiate Athletic Association and at most universities across the nation. The integrity crisis, whether real or perceived, has resulted in a call for accountability in athletics. Concurrently, there is a trend toward the development of policies and procedures manuals for athletic management; The theoretical basis of the study began with a focus on the ideology of business and industry in the early 1900\u27s and the reasons for and results of formalization. The ideology of intercollegiate athletics in the 1980\u27s was then discerned through a review of the current literature, and the impetus for formalization in athletics was examined. Formalization occurred in two separate enterprises, during two distinct periods of time; those were compared and contrasted, revealing similarities as well as differences; The developmental basis of the study focused on the use and content of policies and procedures manuals in intercollegiate athletics. 284 NCAA Division I member institutions were surveyed and 210 (75%) responded; of that 210, 91 (43%), indicated they currently utilized a manual and 53 (43%) of those utilizing manuals provided them for use in the study. Based upon the need identified in the literature review and content analysis of the manuals gathered in the research, a model for a policies and procedures manual was developed for use by athletic administrators
