Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A comprehensive critical exploration of the intricacies of college-level athletics. Intercollegiate athletics continue to bedevil American higher education. At once tied closely with their institutions, athletic programs often operate outside the traditional university governance structure while contributing significantly to a school's culture, identity, and financial outlook. Introduction to Intercollegiate Athletics, edited by Eddie Comeaux, explores the complexities of intercollegiate athletics while explaining the organizational structures, key players, terms, and important issues most relevant to the growing but often misunderstood fields of recreational studies, sports management, and athletic administration. The book is divided into eight sections, the first three of which describe the foundations, overarching structures, and conditions that shape athletics and higher education. Three others explore the ways college athletes experience life on campus, and the final two delve into the current and future policy contexts of intercollegiate athletics. Written by a diverse group of expert scholars, the book's twenty-eight chapters are enhanced with useful glossaries, reflections from athletics stakeholders, relevant case studies, and conversation-provoking discussion questions. Aimed at upper-level undergraduate and graduate students, scholars, teachers, practitioners, athletic administrators, and advocates of intercollegiate athletics, Introduction to Intercollegiate Athletics provides readers with up-to-date and comprehensive knowledge about the changes to—and challenges faced by—university athletics programs.

Download or read book The Role of Intercollegiate Athletics in the Retention of First time First year Students at NCAA Division III Institutions with Football written by Clay E. Harshaw and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The retention of first-time, first-year students to their sophomore year is important to institutions of higher education because this retention predicts the students' persistence through graduation at their institutions (Bean, 1990; Tinto, 1993). Tinto (1993) suggested that academic integration and social integration lead students to persist. One aspect of the social milieu that has received little attention in retention research is intercollegiate athletics. The purpose of this study was to determine the role of intercollegiate athletics in the retention of first-time, first-year students and to determine how intercollegiate athletics are incorporated in the retention practices of institutions with NCAA Division III athletic programs with football. Within the social milieu of an institution are practices that foster a sense of community in the institution (Braxton & Hirschy, 2004); a sense of belonging to the institution (Freeman, Anderman, & Jensen, 2007; Hausmann, Schofield, & Woods, 2007; Tinto, 1987, 1993); a social support system within the institution (Tinto, 1993); student interactions with faculty (Tinto, 1993); student interactions with staff (Tinto, 1993); and student interactions with peers (Tinto, 1993). Through an online questionnaire, student affairs professionals from NCAA Division III institutions with football rated the extent to which intercollegiate athletics contribute to the social integration of first-time, first-year students and to the six variables that lead to social integration using a 5-point rating scale. Respondents described how intercollegiate athletics contribute to the six variables on their campuses. The respondents described retention practices of their institutions that intentionally incorporate intercollegiate athletics and rated the effectiveness of those practices using a 5-point rating scale. Respondents rated the effectiveness of their overall intercollegiate athletics programs and ten sports in retaining students. Findings indicated that the role of intercollegiate athletics in the retention of first-time, first-year students at institutions sponsoring Division III athletics with football is focused on the athletes. Most of the described retention practices were focused on assisting the athletes with their social integration on their campuses. Athletes at the respondents' institutions made up as much as 59% of the total enrollment; thus, specific retention practices focused on athletes at these institutions may influence the overall retention of first-time, first-year students at the institutions. Effective retention practices incorporating intercollegiate athletics are discussed and recommended."--Abstract from author supplied metadata.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Intercollegiate athletics is an increasingly pervasive enterprise within American higher education, particularly at universities that choose to compete at the highest NCAA level. Regardless of level, however, the attention dedicated to student-athletes and coaches often dwarfs that given to faculty members and scholars. Also, some research has shown that the ebbs and flows of college team performance might impact student applications and private donations at some institutions. But, despite the inherent relationship between universities and their intercollegiate athletic programs, the two entities have at times appeared to operate independently of one another, causing some to challenge the presidents' ability to provide effective oversight of these unique programs. In this qualitative study, which included a two-phase research design that relied on document and interview analysis, a grounded theory emerged that explains how presidents, along with their provosts and directors of athletics, position universities to leverage their high profile intercollegiate athletic programs in order to support the university mission. The Leveraging College Athletics theory is built on the five tenets of Experience, Understanding, Appreciation, Acceptance, and Integration. It posits that at these universities, administrators often have prior Experience at institutions with high profile intercollegiate athletic programs, and this prior experience fosters an enlightened Understanding of the operations and goals of the intercollegiate athletic program. With an enlightened understanding, administrators begin to Appreciate how the intercollegiate athletic program might benefit the university. While they appreciate the positives associated with the program, they also Accept the negative consequences such programs might bring to the institution. Once administrators accept the realities of the high profile intercollegiate athletic program, their aim is to Integrate it as much as possible into the university culture in order to support the university mission.
