Book excerpt: College athletics, perhaps even more so than professional sports, engender a high degree of affinity and attachment. Boosters and alumni are willing to give millions to further the cause of their alma mater. Several schools welcome over one hundred thousand spectators from all over the country to a single home football game on autumn Saturdays. College football's 2014 (and last) Bowl Championship Series (“BCS”) National Championship game garnered some of the highest ratings in cable history. Every March economists estimate hundreds of millions of dollars in productivity is lost due to Madness. The position of Athletic Director is perhaps the most prestigious in all of college athletics. It is, in a sense, the general manager of a portfolio of sports teams that potentially represents the university in front of millions of spectators. However, the duties and responsibilities of an Athletic Director are very different from its professional counterpart. Instead of reporting to a team president or owner, the Athletic Director answers to the university president, chancellor, or board of directors (or governors). The teams do not belong to a professional sport league, but instead are part of the National Collegiate Athletic Association (“NCAA”). NCAA amateurism rules (for now) require that student-athletes are not paid, and therefore Athletic Directors primarily concern themselves with issues such as compliance, fundraising, and coaching contract decisions in lieu of salary caps, player contract negotiations, drafts and free agency. The purpose of this paper is to study how the constitution of Division I Football Bowl Subdivision (“FBS”) Athletic Directors has changed over the last twenty years. The revenues associated with college football and men's basketball have increased as those sports have become more popular. Given the rising stakes and increasing pressure to perform, many industry professionals believe that there is a conscience movement away from the traditional exercise of hiring ex-coaches as Athletic Directors toward a preference for individuals with a strong business background or previous Athletic Director experience. In support, many cite that the compensation package for top Athletic Directors has become commensurate with business executives who deal with tens or hundreds of millions in revenue. For example, Vanderbilt AD David Williams was the highest paid Athletic Director in 2013, earning over $3.2 million. In all, nine Athletic Directors that year posted earnings over $1 million. To study whether this hypothesized tendency toward business experience is accurate, and to identify other trends in the data, we gathered as much information as possible on the Athletic Directors of the 120 FBS institutions during the 1989-90, 1999-2000, and 2011-12 school years. The information was gathered using a variety of sources, including colleges and universities, news articles and media guides. The article is comprised of four sections. The first section describes the environment in which Athletic Directors operate in order to better understand their job responsibilities. In so doing, we attempt to briefly elucidate the operation of the NCAA and the athletic departments of universities. The second section explains the numerous duties of a college Athletic Director framed in the context of the difficult legal issues covering those duties. The third section examines the data we collected and analyzed, giving particular attention to collegiate playing and coaching experience, past Athletic Director experience, business background, education, age, and gender and race. This data is then compared among the three samples taken over the twenty year window. The final section, termed “Career Tracks,” draws conclusions on what paths recent Athletic Directors have taken to reach their positions.

Download or read book Division I Athletic Directors Leadership Influence on Athletic Departments written by Morey Mossovitz and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this multi-site case study was to explore the leadership practices of NCAA Division I athletic directors to better understand how their leadership approaches influence goal attainment at the institutions that they serve. This research sought to provide insights that may inform those responsible for the selection of effective athletic directors at Division I institutions. The findings of this research may also offer information for professionals seeking to become athletic directors in Division I institutions that will allow them to hone their leadership skills. The goal of this multi-site study was to create a holistic view of athletic director leadership by replicating data collection within the three different sites (Yin, 2014). The overarching research question that guided this study was, "What influence does a Division I athletic director's leadership have on the athletic department?" Subquestions that supported this research included: (a) How do Division I athletic directors describe their leadership practices? (b) How do Division I athletic department staff describe the athletic director's leadership approach and its effect on the work environment? (c) What are the best leadership practices of Division I athletic directors and how are they perceived to influence the outcomes of athletic programs? The conceptual framework that informed the current study consisted of three streams of theory, research, and practice: background of college athletics; development of the athletic director's role; and athletic director leadership. Findings that emerged from thick descriptions included that: (a) Successful Division I athletic directors have strong interpersonal skills and relate well with others. (b) Strong athletic director leadership requires the ability to identify, cultivate, develop and delegate to staff. (c) The athletic director's ability to create a vision in alignment with the university is significant. (d) The student athlete's experience is central to operational practices. (e) Athletic director abilities are aided through background and training experiences in management, as well as through working with and relating to others. All three sites within this study offered clear evidence that athletic director leadership is linked directly with the effectiveness of their athletic departments, and the skills cited in the study influence outcomes within their departments.

This book was released on 2007 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Explores administrative practices within college athletic departments involving employee pay and work hours for exempt and non-exempt workers as defined by the Department of Labor, specifically with regard to rule changes that went into effect on August 23, 2004. The researcher conducted in-depth interviews with seventeen National Collegiate Athletic Association Division III athletic directors in a Midwestern state. Using the phenomenological approach for analysis, it was discovered that there exists confusion and lack of knowledge of the law and that only a small percentage of departments made major changes in response to the August 23, 2004 rule changes. Recommends that institutions and departments conduct an internal audit of job classifications; review and revise written policies and procedures regarding overtime, working hours, volunteers, travel compensation, and timekeeping; document all policies and procedures; train staff about the law; and understand the rules regarding graduate students, volunteers, and coaches.

Book excerpt: There's more to sports than what occurs during games. Check your social media, listen to sports talk radio, or watch ESPN--there are daily stories of social issues in sports regarding concussions, playing hurt, gambling, Olympics and politics, athletes as social activists, paying college athletes, recruiting violations, academics, youth sports, diversity and gender issues, hazing, athletes' mental health, disabled athletes' rights, sportsmanship, and media coverage. How do these issues affect athletes, fans, and society? Written equally for casual and hardcore fans, this book analyzes social and ethical issues in sports in a lively, journalistic manner, combining quotes from writers, broadcasters, athletes, coaches and others with the author's observations. It shows pros and cons of how sports affect our daily lives and society. While sports inspire and excite us and lead to social change like the civil rights movement, Title IX, and rights of disabled people, controversies surrounding sports can be divisive even as sports work as a uniting factor in society.
