Perceptions About Catholic High School Athletics, Kevin J. Calkins

Journal of Catholic Education Pre-Prints

In the largest survey to date on Catholic school identity in athletics (49 U.S. States, n = 2273), administrators, counselors, and teachers responded to a survey about the perceived value of interscholastic athletics, school support of athletics, the contribution of coaches to school mission, Catholic identity in athletics, and the importance of the school’s athletic director and coaches to have a mission orientation.

Teacher perceptions differed more than administrators and counselors based on their age, gender, and religion. At least one …

Means and percentages were used to derive aggregate measures for the respondents, and the same measures were used to assess the responses based upon one’s gender. For all 11 variables under scrutiny, a statistically significant difference was documented for the two gender-based groups. Thus, it is apparent that the market of intercollegiate …


Play Like A Girl! A Then And Now Comparative Analysis Of Title Ix In Collegiate Athletics: An Oral History Collection, Gretta Gunn Apr 2024

Play Like A Girl! A Then And Now Comparative Analysis Of Title Ix In Collegiate Athletics: An Oral History Collection, Gretta Gunn

Honors Theses

Title IX in collegiate athletics aims to provide female athletes with the same opportunities as their male counterparts, through equal resources, financial scholarships, viewership, etc by prohibiting discrimination on the basis of gender. This is accomplished through certain compliance standards and a Three Prong Test. However, the results of a literature review show that Black female athletes, female coaches and administrators, and male athletes whose sport has been cut still don’t receive fully equal opportunities. Through the creation of an oral history project with the William Berge Center and Special Archives at Eastern Kentucky University, personal stories and experiences related …

Senior Theses

The landscape of Major League Baseball’s free agency is an evolving one with numerous factors impacting negotiated contracts as player salaries escalate and teams adopt new strategies of luring players to their organizations.

Subsequently, we propose our own explanations of any observed inequities or significance and provide rational approaches for players and their …
