Soccer-Specific Stadiums And Attendance In Major League Soccer: Investigating The Novelty Effect, Adam Love, Andreas N. Kavazis, Alan Morse, Kurt C. Mayer Jr.
Journal of Applied Sport Management
Major League Soccer (MLS) officials have focused on the construction of soccer-specific stadiums as a key aspect of the league’s development strategy. Research in numerous professional sport contexts has found that teams tend to experience an increase in attendance after moving into new stadiums. Researchers have termed this phenomenon the novelty effect. Given MLS’s longtime emphasis on constructing soccer-specific stadiums, the purpose of the current study was to examine the extent to which a novelty effect exists in MLS. Results of a repeated measures t test indicated that clubs experienced an increase in attendance during their first season in a …
Exploring Organizational Identity And Interpersonal Conflict In Sport Organizations, Shannon Kerwin
Exploring Organizational Identity And Interpersonal Conflict In Sport Organizations, Shannon Kerwin
Journal of Applied Sport Management
Interpersonal conflict is a dysfunctional group process that requires scholarly attention. Despite support for this claim, there is a gap in theoretical knowledge regarding the antecedent conditions to interpersonal disagreement in sport organizations. As such, the tenets of social identity theory were used to explore if and how organizational identity influences the perception of conflict in the regional sport commission context. A multi-method qualitative approach was adopted to serve the purpose of this study. The findings indicate that organizational identity is present, in-group/out-group identity formation contributes to status conflict, and that both formal and informal leadership play a role in …

Discovering Dysfunction In Title Ix Implementation: Ncaa Administrator Literacy, Responsibility, And Fear, Ellen Staurowsky, Erianne A. Weight
Journal of Applied Sport Management
Higher education officials, including presidents and senior athletics administrators, are expected to voluntarily comply with the mandates of Title IX. In anticipation of the need for assistance in learning about the law’s requirements, Title IX regulations devised in the 1970s called for every institution in the country receiving federal financial assistance to appoint a Title IX coordinator to examine campus policies, practices, and philosophies in light of Title IX standards. As a result of the deficits in the application of this Title IX enforcement model, the purpose of this study was to assess how much senior athletics administrators know about …

Joining The Team: A Case Study Identifying And Assessing Critical Factors Influencing Ncaa Division Iii Student-Athlete Matriculation, Daniel D. Covell, Marilyn K. Pelosi, Jodi Lemoi
Journal of Applied Sport Management
This research sought to understand what factors influence how first-year student-athletes at a National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Division III institution chose the school to attend in light of the heuristic perspective of bounded rationality, which posits that decision makers are rational in some but not all elements of the decision-making process. Data were assessed for the entire respondent group as well as subgroups based on gender and by amount of non-loan financial aid received by using the principal component analysis and the Mann-Whitney U test. The analysis showed athletic variables such as conference affiliation, quality of opponents, recruiting materials, …
An Examination Of Work–Family Conflict In Ncaa Division Iii And Naia Sports Information Professionals, Laura M. Hatfield, Jeffrey T. Johnson
An Examination Of Work–Family Conflict In Ncaa Division Iii And Naia Sports Information Professionals, Laura M. Hatfield, Jeffrey T. Johnson
Journal of Applied Sport Management
Work–family conflict (WFC) is defined as “the discord that arises when the time devoted to or time spent fulfilling professional responsibilities interferes with or limits the amount of time available to perform family-related responsibilities” (Netemeyer, McMurrian, & Boles, 1996). A successful career in sports information requires long, demanding hours that can make finding balance between work and family difficult. The purpose of this study was to determine if NCAA Division III and NAIA sports information professionals (SIDs) experience WFC and to examine the impact of WFC on the related theories of life satisfaction (LS), job satisfaction (JS), job burnout (JB), …

Strategies Implemented By Top Ncaa Olympic Coaches To Enhance Support Surrounding Their Programs, Lee Roberts, Coyte G. Cooper, Erianne A. Weight
Journal of Applied Sport Management
A shift in institutional priorities related to profit maximization in “big time” sport programs (men’s basketball and football) has led to the elimination of many men’s Olympic sport programs (Ridpath, Yiamouyiannis, Lawrence, & Galles, 2009). As previous literature has demonstrated, coaches can work toward minimizing elimination decisions by raising money that will limit the financial burden of their program on the athletic department (Weight, 2010). Thus, the purpose of the study was to explore fund-raising practices of top NCAA Division I wrestling coaches (N = 10) to determine strategies that programs can implement to encourage sustainability initiatives. Following the identification …

Moving On Up: Division I Athletic Directors’ Career Progression And Involvement, Robin Hardin, Coyte G. Cooper, Landon T. Huffman
Journal of Applied Sport Management
Collegiate athletic directors (ADs) are the chief executive officers within the athletic department of the colleges and universities they serve. While they are certainly high-profile, influential professionals, there are a limited number of research studies that focus in-depth on the career experiences of these athletic administrators. The purpose of this research was to examine the career experiences of athletic directors. The results showed a shift in the need for athletic directors to understand business and development and obtain a graduate degree. More than 80% held a master’s degree with previous areas of employment in development and marketing. Such skills were …

In Pursuit Of Sport Sustainability: Fund-Raising And The Ncaa Division I Track And Field Core Product, Logan W. Roberts, Erianne A. Weight
Journal of Applied Sport Management
National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Division I track and field programs have been a target of elimination in recent decades (Irick, 2011) as funds are often allocated to sports that provide the largest perceived potential return on investment (Marburger & Hogshead-Makar, 2003). Building on research that documents the influential role coaches can play in sport sustainability efforts (Cooper, 2012; Weight, 2010; Weight & Cooper, 2011), this study examines fund raising and fortification strategies of 111 Division I coaches through survey methodology. Important fund raising strategies emerged including communication with donors, maintaining an up-to-date contact database, and providing thank-you notes and/ …

Perceptions Of Criminal And Gang Involvement Among College Student-Athletes, Geoff Alpert, Jeff Rojek, Scott H. Decker, J. Andrew Hansen, Randy Shannon, Dan Radakovich
Journal of Applied Sport Management
The involvement of youth and young adults in gangs and other criminal activities continues to be a serious threat and grounds for concern among a variety of stakeholders on college campuses and beyond. The extant literature examining the criminality of intercollegiate student-athletes is limited to media accounts or research focused on few types of offenses or athletics programs. The presence and impact of gangs in institutions such as secondary education and the military has been documented, but the expansion of gangs to college athletics has not been empirically verified despite media portrayals. The current study addresses these gaps in knowledge …

Bridging The Gap: The Perceptions Of Athletic Directors And Coaches Regarding Nonrevenue Program Discontinuation Decisions, Erianne A. Weight, Coyte G. Cooper
Journal of Applied Sport Management
The purpose of this study was to explore the perceptions of athletic directors and coaches regarding wrestling program discontinuation decisions. In the past few decades, an alarming number of NCAA men’s wrestling programs have been eliminated throughout the United States (Student-athlete, 2006). Historically, the educational value offered through intercollegiate athletics was enough to justify financial funding of these programs; however, the marked trend toward the discontinuation of sports that are nonrevenue in nature support the notion that this justification may no longer be sufficient in today’s big-time intercollegiate athletic environment. In order to ensure the sustainability of programs that do …

The Relationship Of Fantasy Football Participation With Nfl Television Ratings, John A. Fortunato
Journal of Applied Sport Management
An estimated 30 million people participate in fantasy football leagues, yet little academic research has been conducted on this topic. While there are many factors that can contribute to the television rating of a sports event, this study asks if fantasy football participation can serve as an additional motivating factor for fans to watch National Football League (NFL) games on television. Results provide some evidence that games with more NFL players starting in a high percentage of fans’ fantasy football leagues have higher Nielsen ratings, although there are differences for the games on NBC vs. ESPN, percentage of starting fantasy …

Implications For Concussion Assessments And Return-To-Play Standards In Intercollegiate Football: How Are The Risks Managed?, John J. Miller, John T. Wendt, Nick Potter
Journal of Applied Sport Management
The lack of understanding regarding the symptoms and effects of concussions by athletes and coaches can generate pressure on both the team physicians to diagnose concussions as well as the sport administrators who need to be aware what concussion protocols are being followed. The significance of appropriate diagnosis of a concussion and the returnto-play protocols may be complicated by the number of guidelines available as well as the reliance on the athlete to self-report the symptoms of a concussion. While the grading guidelines have advanced the use of uniform terminology and increased awareness of concussion signs and symptoms, the lack …
