Social Support And Minority Student-Athletes, Jason Thompson Dec 2023

Social Support And Minority Student-Athletes, Jason Thompson

Journal of Issues in Intercollegiate Athletics

Interpersonal relationships in the family are important to individuals, especially college students. A subgroup within the larger population of college students that calls for further examination is ethnic minority college student-athletes. The present study involved examining ethnic minority college student-athletes’ perceptions of social support they receive from their family as they attend a Predominantly White Institution (PWI). Findings indicated that student- athletes perceived various types of social support that they found beneficial to them both as student-athletes in general and as minority student-athletes in particular. Types of social support included emotional support, informational support, tangible assistance support, task appreciation support, …


Sport And Stigma: College Football Recruiting And Institutional Identity Of Ole Miss, Kristi M. Fondren Dec 2023

Sport And Stigma: College Football Recruiting And Institutional Identity Of Ole Miss, Kristi M. Fondren

Journal of Issues in Intercollegiate Athletics

The identity and history of the University of Mississippi (Ole Miss) has been the subject of immense political discussion and popular debate. Using a conceptual and analytical framework guided by stigma and stigma management, this study examines the debate through the lens of football recruiting at Ole Miss. Qualitative interviews with prominent football players and program administrators (i.e. coaches, recruiters) at Ole Miss, as well as prominent football players at Mississippi State University, highlight a number of negative recruiting strategies used by coaches from competing schools to portray Ole Miss in an unfavorable light when interacting with prospective student-athletes. In …


Reevaluating Prestige: The Influence Of History On The Decision To Reclassify To Division I: A Case Study, Anthony Weaver Dec 2023

Reevaluating Prestige: The Influence Of History On The Decision To Reclassify To Division I: A Case Study, Anthony Weaver

Journal of Issues in Intercollegiate Athletics

The purpose of this study was to examine the impact of an institution’s past on the administrative decision to reclassify the institution’s athletic department to NCAA Division I. The study focused on the environment that existed prior to the reclassification and the administrative rationale used to justify the move. Two universities, University of North Carolina at Greensboro (UNCG) and Elon University, were chosen for case study analysis. Data were collected and analyzed using case study methodologies and an adapted model of Pettigrew’s contextualist approach. Documents, archival records, semi-structured interviews, participant observations, physical artifacts, and direct observations from each institution were …


Corporate Motives For Sport Sponsorship At Mid-Major Collegiate Athletic Departments, Erianne Weight, Kevin Taylor, Jacquelyn Cuneen Dec 2023

Corporate Motives For Sport Sponsorship At Mid-Major Collegiate Athletic Departments, Erianne Weight, Kevin Taylor, Jacquelyn Cuneen

Journal of Issues in Intercollegiate Athletics

Sport sponsorship has become an increasingly important part of intercollegiate athletic revenue generation as universities have been forced to seek new and creative ways to fund their programs. The purpose of this study was to explore the benefits, criteria, and company factors that lead local corporations to embark upon sport sponsorship agreements within a specific region of mid-major sized universities. Respondents were corporate decision-makers who had forged sponsorships with three mid-major schools. Results reveal that sponsors have clear motives and preferences when agreeing to sponsor sport. On-site signage and cost were identified as being the most important information listed. Additionally, …


A Model For Assessing Organizational Culture In Intercollegiate Athletic Departments, Peter J. Schroeder Dec 2023

A Model For Assessing Organizational Culture In Intercollegiate Athletic Departments, Peter J. Schroeder

Journal of Issues in Intercollegiate Athletics

Beyer and Hannah (2000) have suggested that a major barrier to the reform of intercollegiate athletics is its cultural significance in higher education. Even leaders within the National Collegiate Athletic Association have acknowledged the need for culture change in intercollegiate athletics (Brand, 2001; Dempsey, 2000). Yet major culture change has not occurred and few studies have examined culture within intercollegiate athletic departments (Ridpath, 2008). This gap may be due, in part, to the lack of a framework with which to analyze athletic departments as organizational cultures. Schein’s (2004) model of organizational culture is the most frequently cited perspective in the …


The Dilemma Of The Senior Woman Administrator Role In Intercollegiate Athletics, Jennifer Hoffman Dec 2023

The Dilemma Of The Senior Woman Administrator Role In Intercollegiate Athletics, Jennifer Hoffman

Journal of Issues in Intercollegiate Athletics

All National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) member institutions designate the highest-ranking woman in athletic administration the senior woman administrator (SWA). This role is “intended to encourage and promote the involvement” of women in decision-making, enhance the representation women’s experiences and perspectives, and support women’s interests in intercollegiate athletics (NCAA, n.d. [a]). However, previous research reveals inconsistency in the tasks and responsibilities associated with the SWA role. Furthermore, it is not well established if this role is a mechanism to advance women to leadership roles or a terminal position (Hatfield, 2009). To better understand the influence of the SWA role on …


Stakeholder Perceptions Of An Athletic Program’S Reclassification From Ncaa Division Ii To Ncaa Division I (Fcs) Membership: A Case Study, Brendan Dwyer, Terry Eddy, Cody Harvard, Lori Braa Dec 2023

Stakeholder Perceptions Of An Athletic Program’S Reclassification From Ncaa Division Ii To Ncaa Division I (Fcs) Membership: A Case Study, Brendan Dwyer, Terry Eddy, Cody Harvard, Lori Braa

Journal of Issues in Intercollegiate Athletics

At the highest level of intercollegiate athletics, successful programs have the potential to enhance public perception, increase visibility, and enrich prestige for an institution (Beyer & Hannah, 2000; Goff, 2000). Due to these potential benefits, university officials are willing to invest tremendous amounts of energy and capital, in the form of a division reclassification, just for the opportunity to compete at this level. This transition, however, is a complex process with substantial consequences for a university and its stakeholders. Employing a mixed methodology, this case study investigated the previous management decisions and current stakeholder perceptions of an institution’s recent reclassification …


The Rise And Impact Of High Profile Spectator Sports On American Higher Education, Kimberly L. Martin, Keith Christy Dec 2023

The Rise And Impact Of High Profile Spectator Sports On American Higher Education, Kimberly L. Martin, Keith Christy

Journal of Issues in Intercollegiate Athletics

Intercollegiate athletics at colleges and universities have been referred to as “American higher education’s ‘peculiar institution.’ Their presence is pervasive, yet their proper balance with academics remains puzzling” (Thelin, 1994, p.1). Scandals such as the one at the University of Colorado at Boulder involving improper conduct of athletes and improper recruiting practices highlight the problems in athletic departments all over the country (Jacobsen, as cited in Umbach, Palmer, Kuh and Hannah, 2006). Organizations such as the Knight Commission, Coalition on Intercollegiate Athletics (COIA), and the Drake Group dedicate much of their resources toward examining reform in intercollegiate athletics. This all …

2009 Bowl Championship Series Telecasts: Expressions Of Big-Time College- Sport’S Commercial Institutional Logics, Richard M. Southall, Crystal Southall, Brendan Dwyer

Journal of Issues in Intercollegiate Athletics

The Bowl Championship Series (BCS) is the preeminent National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) event. It consistently generates high television ratings and attracts millions of dollars of advertising spending. Given the limited analysis of the organizational conditions that frame these broadcasts’ production, this study examines the impact of influential actors on the representation process. Using a mixed-method approach, this paper investigates the production of 2009 BCS broadcasts, and examines the extent to which these broadcasts are consistent with college sport’s espoused educational mission. Through a critical examination of the dominant institutional logic that underpins their reproduction, this …


Clashing Models Of Commercial Sport In Higher Education: Implications For Reform And Scholarly Research, Allen Sack Dec 2023

Clashing Models Of Commercial Sport In Higher Education: Implications For Reform And Scholarly Research, Allen Sack

Journal of Issues in Intercollegiate Athletics

Big-time college sport has successfully weathered one wave of reform after another for over 100 years. Yet, passionate debates continue regarding the educational impact of highly commercialized sport in American universities. The major purpose of this study is to identify the issues and assumptions that divide reformers and reform groups. It also makes explicit the conceptual models—intellectual elitist, academic capitalist, and athletes rights—they use to interpret the reality of commercialized college sport. This study does not test the validity of each model. Rather it explores logical connections between these models and reform policies likely to be pursued by those who …

Punching A Ticket To The Big Dance: A Critical Analysis Of At-Large Selection Into The Ncaa Division I Men’S Basketball Tournament, Stephen L. Shapiro, Joris Drayer, Brendan Dwyer, Alan L. Morse

Journal of Issues in Intercollegiate Athletics

The NCAA Division I Men’s Basketball Tournament at-large selection process is a highly scrutinized system. A selection committee made up of ten members is asked to select teams based on guidelines set forth by the NCAA. However, committee members indicate that other factors are also considered. Due to the financial benefits associated with a tournament appearance, it is important to closely examine the committee’s decision making process in order to identify possible sources of bias, which may put some teams at a competitive disadvantage. The purpose of this study was to examine direct and indirect attributes of teams that finished …
