Super Bowl Vs. Virtual Super Bowl, Richard C. Crepeau
Super Bowl Vs. Virtual Super Bowl, Richard C. Crepeau
On Sport and Society
It is time for the mid-winter festival of commercial excess. It is time for the holiday commemorating Thorstein Veblen. It is the time of conspicuous consumption, conspicuous leisure, and conspicuous waste. It is a time without restraints and without limits. It is Super Bowl Weekend in America.
The Changing Geography Of Sport In America Since Wwii, Richard C. Crepeau
The Changing Geography Of Sport In America Since Wwii, Richard C. Crepeau
On Sport and Society
The heavy presence of the National Football League in Florida on Saturday, three Florida teams involved in two playoff games in the state, may or may not be a record. It is however an indication of how much the geography of sport has changed since the end of World War II. These changes are seen not just in Florida but all across the American landscape and are a reminder of how much sport has changed over the past half-century.
Losing Money Going To Bowl Games, Richard C. Crepeau
Losing Money Going To Bowl Games, Richard C. Crepeau
On Sport and Society
With the barrage of bowl games these past several days one can only marvel at the willingness of sponsors and cities to pay out millions of dollars to universities to provide a few hours of entertainment during the holidays. Last year the University of Wisconsin took away $12.5M for the Big Ten from the Badger's Rose Bowl appearance. The participants at this year's Sugar Bowl, allegedly the national championship game, will take away between $11M and $13M each. Moving down the pecking order to near the bottom the payouts run to about a million dollars.

A Profile Of The Manager Of A Malaysian National Sports Team, Siew Eng Tan
A Profile Of The Manager Of A Malaysian National Sports Team, Siew Eng Tan
Student Works (2000-2009)
Sports management has recently made great progress both as a professional occupation and as an academic discipline. There has been an increase in demand for qualified people to manage the sports organizations efficiently at all levels, the professional, the amateur and the recreational levels. In the Malaysian context, sports management is still very much a voluntary and part time occupation. With the national sports teams being constantly under the scrutiny of the media and pressured by the public to develop and maintain a winning tradition, it is vital that sports managers perform all the expected roles and tasks fully and …
International Student-Athlete Adjustment To College: A Preliminary Analysis, Lynn L. Ridinger, Donna L. Pastore
International Student-Athlete Adjustment To College: A Preliminary Analysis, Lynn L. Ridinger, Donna L. Pastore
Human Movement Studies & Special Education Faculty Publications
This preliminary investigation was undertaken to determine how well international student–athletes adjusted to college relative to their domestic teammates and the general student body. The results revealed that international student-athletes were significantly more well-adjusted to college than international nonathletes. International student–athletes adjusted to college as well as students and student–athletes from the United States. Results should be interpreted with caution due to the small sample size. The effects of gender and ethnicity on adjustment to college were also examined.

Bowls Everywhere But None To Match The Poulan Weed Eater Bowl, Richard C. Crepeau
Bowls Everywhere But None To Match The Poulan Weed Eater Bowl, Richard C. Crepeau
On Sport and Society
I entered a state of deep depression recently when I learned that the folks at Poulan are no longer sponsoring the Independence Bowl. The Poulan Weed Eater Bowl is no more. The irritating, loud and stupid relative of all the bowl games is gone. The Poulan Weed Eater Bowl has whacked its last weed.
John Rocker's Si Interview, Richard C. Crepeau
John Rocker's Si Interview, Richard C. Crepeau
On Sport and Society
It wasn't all that long ago that John Rocker was complaining about being stereotyped by Met fans and New Yorkers. He said that New Yorkers seemed to think that everyone from Georgia had one tooth and married their cousin. The self-styled good old boy resented this sort of sweeping generalization about Georgians and Southerners.
Notre Dame On Probation: The Cost Of Selling Your Soul And The Ncaa As Judge, Richard C. Crepeau
Notre Dame On Probation: The Cost Of Selling Your Soul And The Ncaa As Judge, Richard C. Crepeau
On Sport and Society
Can we say that the final blow to the concept of intercollegiate athletic integrity has now been delivered? With the announcement Friday that Notre Dame has been placed on two years probation and lost two football scholarships, seemingly the last bastion of intercollegiate athletics has been tarnished. A sense of shame walks the campus beneath the Golden Dome.

Fay Vincent, Pete Rose, And Reinstatement, Richard C. Crepeau
On Sport and Society
Pete Rose just won't go away. He just doesn't seem to understand, and probably never will. His ban from baseball was not about his popularity, whatever that might have been, or is. His ban from baseball is the result of the Commissioner of Baseball concluding that there was sufficient evidence that he had been gambling on baseball. He did not contest the finding, but then he also refuses to acknowledge the finding.

Thanksgiving, Richard C. Crepeau
On Sport and Society
The History of Thanksgiving and of Football both go back into the Middle Ages, and so it may not be so strange that the two would become intertwined in modern America.
Ex-Athletes As Politicians, Richard C. Crepeau
Ex-Athletes As Politicians, Richard C. Crepeau
On Sport and Society
In recent days and weeks there has been considerable discussion in the national press of Bill Bradley's presidential run and its relationship to his professional basketball career. Such questions as: Should he exploit his NBA fame for political purposes? Should he be using this fame to raise money as he did in the big fund-raiser in Madison Square Garden last week? Why after years of disconnecting himself from his basketball career does he now seek to reconnect? Does this negate his claims that he much more than a basketball player?
Sport And The Denial Of Death, Richard C. Crepeau
Sport And The Denial Of Death, Richard C. Crepeau
On Sport and Society
References to death are frequent in the language of sport. "Sudden death," ends the overtime period. Winning teams often "kill," "wipe out," or "bury" their opponents. In baseball you are a "dead duck" when thrown out at the plate.

On Sport and Society
There are several items to note in this potpourri of sports which has been delayed while I try to recover from the pain of watching the Atlanta Braves get turned every which way but loose by the New York Yankees. Realistically I did not think the Braves would beat the Yankees but I did expect to see a competitive six or seven game World Series.

The release of "The Blair Witch Project" on video has once again brought the attention of the Orlando community and film fans everywhere to the blockbuster surprise of the summer. It has also focused local attention on the University of Central Florida film program where the filmmakers began their work.

If you have been watching baseball the last few weeks, and you didn't get it before, you should now fully understand the beauty and appeal of this intricate and always surprising game.

Shoplifting And Shop Forgetting In Tallahassee: Fsu One More Time, Richard C. Crepeau
On Sport and Society
It may be something in the air or perhaps the water but whatever the cause illegal shopping for wearing apparel seems endemic to Tallahassee, Florida. Or perhaps it is just the fact that two of the more corrupt institutions of our time are located there: government and a major college football program.

Bud Lite's Bloodless Coup - No Nfl In La, Richard C. Crepeau
Bud Lite's Bloodless Coup - No Nfl In La, Richard C. Crepeau
On Sport and Society
Two sparsely reported and remarkable events from Sportsworld in the past week caught my eye and have gotten me thinking that we may be witnessing some fundamental shifts in the two sports that claim to be our national game. As one would expect these developments did not take place on the playing fields, but rather in the boardrooms. In baseball the positions of League President have been abolished, and in football it seems likely that the NFL will remain shut out of the Los Angeles market.

Every now and then the Sport of the Seventies can still rear up and produce intense excitement. At the U.S. Open this past weekend several of those moments jumped off the TV screen and into our living rooms.

Espn's 20th Anniversary, Richard C. Crepeau
On Sport and Society
"Anniversary of everything these days. Enough to give a guy the creeps." This line from Robert Coover's brilliant baseball novel "The Universal Baseball Association, Inc., J. Henry Waugh, Prop." speaks to our excessive penchant for celebrations of milestones and anniversaries.

Killing The Umpires Union, Richard C. Crepeau
On Sport and Society
Kill the Umpire! Kill the Umpire! It's one of the oldest cliches in American sport. And in the early days of baseball sometimes they tried, and on the rare occasion they succeeded.
Raising Standards And Beating The System: Forget Reform, Richard C. Crepeau
Raising Standards And Beating The System: Forget Reform, Richard C. Crepeau
On Sport and Society
The beauty of intercollegiate athletics and the NCAA attempt to control them is that whatever is done, something else follows that will corrupt the solution. In a perfect world it would also produce new and more elaborate levels of corruption. The current case in point revolves around the attempt by the NCAA to mandate minimum SAT and ACT scores and thus guarantee some modicum of brain wave activity in the recruited student athlete.

Pee Wee Reese And Stefi Graf And Us, Richard C. Crepeau
On Sport and Society
One of those inevitabilities of human existence struck twice over the past few days in the world of sport, reminding us that the ultimate failure of the human body remains the fate of us all. Perhaps this is one of the reasons why we put such a high value on sport, representing as it does the transcendence of the body over reality, often driven by the mind and heart.

Sport And Education In Osceola County: A Question Of Priorities, Richard C. Crepeau
On Sport and Society
Tip O'Neill is generally credited with having said, "All politics are local." There is a certain truth to that not just in politics but on all the stages of human activity. In Central Florida over the past two weeks a number of things have happened to reinforce that notion in sport and other venues. At the confluence of local sport and education the last few weeks have been rich in both the ludicrous and the ironic.

Every now and again there are sports weekends during which one can see the very best qualities of sport on display in multiple venues. When this happens it is a clear reminder why we still watch the games despite all the other nonsense surrounding sport these days.
Stanley Cup Playoffs, Richard C. Crepeau
Stanley Cup Playoffs, Richard C. Crepeau
On Sport and Society
In the recently concluded Stanley Cup playoffs the point was made repeatedly that the road to the Cup is a war of attrition. Unlike other sports leagues, the National Hockey League does not require their teams to reveal injuries, and in fact disguising and hiding injuries has become a major art form in the NHL, while trainers and team doctors have come to rival coaches in their significance. Various drugs have become the key elements to victory.
