Conclusions showed female veterans desire female-veteran-only activities; desire relationships with fellow female veterans; and enjoy outdoor adventure recreation that includes teamwork, planned activities, and relaxation. In order to ensure the best possible avenue for PTSD health in female veterans, future research may include a focus on the impact of …

A total of 492 college students from a large east coast Christian university participated in this study by completing an online survey. Based on the university’s degree offerings, 24 college majors were selected, and students …

The Effect Of Luck On The Retention Of Head Coaches In The Nfl, Alexander Steen
The Effect Of Luck On The Retention Of Head Coaches In The Nfl, Alexander Steen
Masters Theses
his investigation considers the impact of the concept of luck on coaching retention in the National Football League (NFL). The head coach of an NFL team is often under intense scrutiny to perform in a high profile position. Due to a small inventory of games each season, there is the potential for luck to influence whether or not a season is viewed a success. This study seeks to measure the impact of luck for a given NFL team while attempting to correlate with the retention or release of the head coach.
Is The Nfl Responsible For Concussions Sustained By Players?, Lindsey Reid
Is The Nfl Responsible For Concussions Sustained By Players?, Lindsey Reid
Masters Theses
National Football League (NFL) players have sustained concussions while playing football (Casson & Viano, 2010). There is a growing controversy between NFL players, their immediate families, and the league regarding alleged claims that management should be held responsible for the physical deterioration of former players including compensatory damages for suffering. Family members of current and past NFL players claim league officials provided inadequate education regarding risks associated with playing professional football. Former players are experiencing health issues such as dementia, early Alzheimer's, chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE), trouble concentrating and inability to work; in some cases these debilitating life-changing events have …
Major League Baseball's Antitrust Exemption And The Impact Of The Curt Flood Act, Gina Scalzo
Major League Baseball's Antitrust Exemption And The Impact Of The Curt Flood Act, Gina Scalzo
Senior Honors Theses
For many years, professional baseball has enjoyed a privileged antitrust exemption apart from other professional sports. With the passing of the Curt Flood Act in 1998 this exemption was removed; however, the act may not be as influential as it seems. Court rulings were prominent in initiating and maintaining the antitrust exemption for professional baseball. These include the Supreme Court Trilogy, especially the case of Curt Flood, a baseball player who fought against the reserve clause system which limited his and other players’ employment options. Collective bargaining as well as arbitration became dominant in professional baseball labor relations under the …
Social Media In Sports: A Phenomenological Study Of Athletes And Online Communication, Garrett Bireline
Social Media In Sports: A Phenomenological Study Of Athletes And Online Communication, Garrett Bireline
Masters Theses
This study investigates the intersection where the shared experience of sports meets the shared experience of social media. Empirically quantitative literature and data regarding social media has been well-documented from the perspective of understanding macro-level trends (Duggan & Brenner, 2012; Lenhart, et al., 2010). However, few to no studies have sought to learn the views, feelings, and experiences of unique populations from the micro, individual level. This method of research threatens to silence the voice of the individuals of select populations, and offers no hope of their ever being heard. Specifically, this study seeks to understand how collegiate athletes at …

An Exploration Of The Impact That Postmodernism Has On Competition In Sport, Shara Crow
An Exploration Of The Impact That Postmodernism Has On Competition In Sport, Shara Crow
Masters Theses
The purpose of this study is to explore the impact that postmodernism has on competition in sport. Previous studies compartmentalized social thought and competition in sport. This study appreciates that the two are connected, and it is through this connectedness that the impact emerges. By describing, finding, and analyzing relationships through text as well as notating text iteratively, it was found through a postmodernist critical awareness to meta-narratives that sport is expressed in two main themes: (a) identity (b) and hierarchy/authority. Moreover, both of these themes are interrelated to social interaction. These findings indicate that social interpretation impacts the complex …
A Quantitative Analysis Of Collegiate Athletic Involvement And Academic Achievement Among Sport Management Students, Christopher Amos
A Quantitative Analysis Of Collegiate Athletic Involvement And Academic Achievement Among Sport Management Students, Christopher Amos
Masters Theses
Within the last several decades, more attention has been focused on the academic success of college athletes. It has been documented from several studies that high school athletes perform better academically than their non-athlete peers (American Sports Institute, 1995; Brand, 2007; Dilley-Knoles, Burnett, & Peak, 2010; Foltz, 1992; Fox, Barr-Anderson, Neumark-Sztainer, & Wall, 2010; Slear, 2005). However, at the collegiate level, this heightened academic achievement trend among student-athletes is not so clear. Lapchick often releases data regarding graduation rates among a select group of highly achieving teams in certain sports but not much exists in the way of a comparison …

Increasing Revenue And Cutting Costs: The Financial Aspect Of Big Budget Football, Michael Troy Hagen
Increasing Revenue And Cutting Costs: The Financial Aspect Of Big Budget Football, Michael Troy Hagen
Senior Honors Theses
The growth of college sports in recent years into a multi-billion dollar industry has significantly increased the financial obligations and incentive guidelines under which many universities operate. Nowhere has the drastic increase of incentive to be competitive been as prevalent as the sport of football. Under constant pressure and intense scrutiny from the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) and critics, schools must now find ways to decrease costs and increase revenues of their athletic programs, primarily through changes to the structure and business of the sport of football. Schools have attempted to reduce unnecessary costs, and at times, these reductions …
