This book was released on 1995 with total page 820 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to compare the attitudes of faculty at: (1) Division I NCAA and NAIA institutions, (2) Division I and II NAIA institutions on selected issues related to intercollegiate athletics, and (3) Division I NCAA and NAIA institutions toward selected issues related to intercollegiate athletics when demographics variables are considered. The survey instrument included forty statements and used a five-point Likert scale with possible responses of strongly agree, agree, undecided, disagree and strongly disagree. The population was resident, full-time faculty members. The sample was selected from the population using random techniques. The survey instrument which included demographic information, was sent to the selected faculty from the NCAA Division I (N = 656) and the NAIA (N = 632). The problem was to determine if there were significant differences between the attitudes of the faculties. Hypothesis I stated there was a significant difference between the NCAA Division I and NAIA faculty in their attitudes toward intercollegiate athletics. Hypothesis II stated there was a significant difference between the NAIA Division I and II faculty members in their attitudes toward intercollegiate athletics. Hypothesis III stated there was a significant difference between NCAA Division I and NAIA faculty in their attitudes toward intercollegiate athletics when demographic information is concerned. The statistical test used was Chi-Square with a.05 alpha level. NCAA Division I faculty were more critical of intercollegiate athletics than NAIA faculty on most issues. They were more suspicious about the academic integrity of student athletes and the progress of gender equity. Both NCAA Division I and NAIA faculties were in agreement that intercollegiate athletics is valuable to student athletes and their institutions. There was little difference between the attitude of NAIA Division I and NAIA Division II faculty members. The main conclusion was that there is a significant difference between NCAA Division I and NAIA faculty attitudes. The faculty at NCAA institutions tended to be more critical of intercollegiate athletics.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to examine attitudes of college faculty at NCAA Division III institutions toward issues related to their school's intercollegiate athletic program. The survey instrument contained fifty statements regarding intercollegiate athletics at the respondent's institution, and eight questions which requested specific demographic information. The population sample used for this study were faculty employed at NCAA Division III institutions whose athletic programs ranked in the top three and bottom seven placings of the final 2003 National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics (NACDA) Director's Cup standings. Results indicated no significant differences when attitudes of faculty at successful and unsuccessful schools were compared toward the role of athletics at the university and issues pertaining to leadership in athletics. However, faculty members from schools with successful athletic programs displayed more favorable attitudes toward their athletic programs than faculty members from institutions with unsuccessful programs regarding their perception of the image of athletics in higher education. Faculty from physical education/kinesiology showed more favorable attitudes toward their athletic programs than faculty from other departments concerning the role of athletics at the university and perception of the image of athletics. Differences in attitudes were also evident between male and female faculty members regarding their perception of athletics, as males representing schools with successful athletic programs were inclined to possess less favorable attitudes than males representing schools with unsuccessful programs. In contrast, female faculty members from successful schools showed more favorable attitudes than their female counterparts from schools with unsuccessful athletic programs. Faculty members from schools with successful programs with less than 20 years of experience teaching in higher education showed more favorable attitudes than their counterparts from unsuccessful athletic program schools in the same years of experience group. Teaching experience at NCAA Division III schools and faculty members with previous ties to intercollegiate athletics showed significant differences between successful and unsuccessful program faculty regarding the perception of the image of athletics in higher education. In both, faculty from schools with successful athletic programs displayed attitudes that were less favorable than faculty from schools with unsuccessful athletic programs.

This book was released on 1973 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study investigated the attitudes of faculty members toward the role of intercollegiate athletics in selected institutions of higher education. The perceptions of the faculty members were collected by means of a questionnaire comprised of three sections: Section 1 requested demographic data; Section 2 requested responses to forty-eight items relating to intercollegiate athletics, and Section 3 requested additional comments, A five-point Likert scale containing five response categories including strongly agree, agree, undecided, disagree, and strongly disagree was utilized in Section 2. The forty-eight items included in the questionnaire were formulated primarily through the literature review, and from discussions with leading experts in the field. These items were divided into one of the five following topic areas: policies and policy determination, financial considerations, coaching staff, current trends, and philosophical considerations. The colleges and universities used in the study were chosen on a random basis from within the Big-Ten Athletic Conference, the MidAmerican Athletic Conference, and The Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Association. These Conferences were selected on the basis of the diverse range in enrollments and athletic philosophies of the member institutions as well as the geographic proximity. Over 1,000 questionnaires were sent to randomly selected full-time faculty members at the selected colleges and universities, with a return of slightly better than 51%. Analysis of the data included a total frequency count for each item as well as an item mean. A one-way analysis of variance was computed to test for significant differences between the mean responses of faculty member's at institutions within one conference when compared to the mean responses of those faculty members at institutions within the other two conferences. When the one-way analysis of variance indicated significant differences between the three groups beyond the .05 level, the T-method developed by Tukey was utilized to determine if there were significant differences between all of the means. The findings of the study indicate that intercollegiate athletics appear to be an integral part of the total educational program at the college and university level. However, it is apparent from the data that there is need for constant evaluation and control of intercollegiate athletic programs to maintain a philosophy of athletics consistent with educational goals. The "big-buslness" aura of intercollegiate athletics present in many institutions of higher education was seen as highly undesirable. A reduced emphasis on intercollegiate athletics and an increased emphasis on intramural programs was stressed

Book excerpt: The main goal of the Faculty Perceptions of Intercollegiate Athletics Survey is to examine professors' beliefs about and satisfaction with intercollegiate athletics. The investigation also identifies faculty members' primary concerns about intercollegiate athletics and gathers preliminary data on whether they would join campus-based initiatives aimed at ameliorating these concerns. Further, the survey assesses whether professors think such activities would lead to meaningful change on their campus. The first part of this Report provides background information on the development and administration of the Faculty Survey. The second part explains the data analyses and highlights key findings.

This book was released on 2009-04-21 with total page 358 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After decades of domination on campus, college sports' supremacy has begun to weaken. "Enough, already!" detractors cry. College is about learning, not chasing a ball around to the whir of TV cameras. In Intercollegiate Athletics and the American University James Duderstadt agrees, taking the view that the increased commercialization of intercollegiate athletics endangers our universities and their primary goal, academics. Calling it a "corrosive example of entertainment culture" during an interview with ESPN's Bob Ley, Duderstadt suggested that college basketball, for example, "imposes on the university an alien set of values, a culture that really is not conducive to the educational mission of university." Duderstadt is part of a growing controversy. Recently, as reported in The New York Times, an alliance between university professors and college boards of trustees formed in reaction to the growth of college sports; it's the first organization with enough clout to challenge the culture of big-time university athletics. This book is certainly part of that challenge, and is sure to influence this debate today and in the years to come. James J. Duderstadt is President Emeritus and University Professor of Science and Engineering, University of Michigan.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Intercollegiate Athletics, Inc. examines the corrupting influence and damaging financial effects of big-time intercollegiate athletics, especially football and to a lesser extent basketball, on American higher education. Including historical and contemporary perspectives, the book traces the growth of intercollegiate sports from largely student-run activities supervised by faculty to the gargantuan, taxpayer-supported spectacles that now dominate many public universities. It investigates the regressive student fees that have helped subsidize big-time sports at public universities and prop up chronically unprofitable athletic departments, as well as the corrosive effects of athletics on the university’s academic enterprise. A review of the alleged salutary effects of massive sports programs, such as spurring alumni donations and student applications, reveals that such benefits are largely illusory, more myth than real. The book also pays special attention to the often prescient, if largely unsuccessful, opponents of these developments, and considers the alternatives to big-time athletics, from abolition to professionalization to club sports. Students, scholars, sports fans, and those interested in learning how big-time football and basketball have cast such an enormous—and often baleful—shadow upon American colleges and universities will profit from this provocative and engagingly written book.

Book excerpt: During the last four decades women’s and gender history have become vibrant fields including studies of attitudes regarding the limited physical and other abilities of females as well as studies of the accomplishments of notable female athletes. We have become increasingly aware that women have made contributions to physical education, dance and sport that go far beyond being teachers, athletes and coaches. They have created and implemented an astonishing variety of programs intended to serve the needs of large numbers of children and youth sometimes organizing student health services, as well as chairing departments of physical education. They have worked as directors of sport, physical education and dance, running playgrounds and recreational facilities and have created and/or served as important officers of a variety of sporting organizations. This book explores the contributions and achievements of women in a variety of historical and geographical contexts which, not surprisingly opens opportunities for additions, revisions and counter-narratives to accepted histories of physical education and sport science. It seeks to broaden our understandings about the backgrounds, motivations and achievements of dedicated women working to improve health and bodily practices in a variety of different arenas and for often different purposes. This book was previously published as a special issue of the International Journal of the History of Sport.
