Book excerpt: In 2010 allegations of an utterly corrupt academic system for student-athletes emerged at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, home of the legendary Tar Heels. Written by UNC professor of history Jay Smith and UNC athletics department whistleblower Mary Willingham, Cheated recounts the story of academic fraud in UNC’s athletics department, even as university leaders focused on minimizing the damage in order to keep the billion-dollar college sports revenue machine functioning. Smith and Willingham make an impassioned argument that the “student-athletes” in these programs are being cheated out of what, after all, they are promised in the first place: a college education. Updated with a new epilogue, the paperback edition of Cheated carries the narrative through the defining events of 2017, including the landmark Wainstein report, the findings of which UNC leaders initially embraced only to push aside in an audacious strategy of denial with the NCAA, ultimately even escaping punishment for offering sham coursework. The ongoing fallout from this scandal—and the continuing spotlight on the failings of college athletics, which are hardly unique to UNC—has continued to inform the debate about how the $16 billion college sports industry operates and influences colleges and universities nationwide.

This book was released on 2010 with total page 122 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this study, I examined the relationship that exists among school belonging, achievement motivation, and academic achievement in a sample of student-athletes at UC Berkeley. The goal of the study was to achieve a deeper understanding of how and why achievement motivation and academic achievement is often discrepant between revenue and non-revenue athletes (Howard-Hamilton & Sina, 2001; Simons, Covington, & Van Rheenen, 1999). By examining the relationship between sense of school belonging and achievement motivation, I aimed to identify an additional factor that may contribute to motivation and achievement differences observed between subgroups in my sample. I also investigated differing motivation profiles in a representative sample of student-athletes. The current study used a 2 x 2 goal achievement framework established by Elliot and McGregor (2001) to provide a deeper understanding of motivation by fusing approach-avoidance and mastery-performance perspectives (Elliot & McGregor, 2001). Data for this study were collected from 143 college student-athletes at a large public university in the western United States. Respondents were from 17 to 24 years of age and were diverse in regard to gender, ethnicity, class year, sport, and socioeconomic status. Students who agreed to participate completed a brief questionnaire and submitted their responses anonymously. Motivation profiles were established by clustering scores from four variables: mastery-approach, performance-approach, mastery-avoidance, and performance-avoidance. Four meaningful clusters were identified among the student-athlete sample. A series of multivariate analyses of variance (MANOVAs) and univariate ANOVAs were then used to examine cluster group differences on the variables of perceived school belonging (instructor support, peer support, and general sense of belonging), achievement data, and each motivation cluster. Group differences amongst high-revenue and non-revenue student-athletes in regard to the dimension of school belonging, goal orientation, and achievement level were assessed using multivariate analysis of variance. Overall the results of the study reveal that four motivational profiles were identified within the student-athlete population using a 2 x 2 approach-avoidance and mastery-performance model. These clusters can be described as High Mastery, Moderate Motivation, High Approach, and High Motivation profiles. Student-athletes rarely reported low levels of motivation on the scale. The differences that were found between clusters were based on students feeling strongly or moderately in regard to motivation. Overall, subscales associated with a sense of school belonging did vary significantly across the four motivational clusters. Student-athletes identified as having a Moderate motivation profile had a weaker sense of support from peers, instructors, and the overall academic community in comparison to students found in the High Motivation and High Approach clusters. Students identified as having a High Approach profile felt the highest level of belonging across measures. No significant difference was found between revenue and non-revenue athletes in regard to distribution among cluster profiles; however, revenue athletes reported significantly lower levels of belonging across subscales and had a lower mean grade point average.

This book was released on 2007 with total page 66 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The purpose of this study is to explore the relationship between athletic participation and academic performance. Many of the studies do not find a direct cause and effect relationship linking athletic participation to higher academic performance. However, studies do find a consistent correlation between athletic participation and higher Grade Point Average (GPA), higher standardized test scores, and increased brain functioning. In addition, athletes tend to exhibit positive personal disciplines that contribute to better academic performance, due to lower dropout rates, better overall attendance, and more time spent on homework. An effort by educators to promote athletics, and possibly even build movement time into class may be beneficial to students. Future studies should focus on holding constant many of the variables (such as school size, course rigor, socioeconomic status, etc.), and should focus more on GPA, or standardized test scores. Doing so would ensure the cause and effect relationship was clearly explored and would avoid skewing of results."--leaf 4.

J. Patterson and published by . This book was released on 1998 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: Participants in this study consisted of 600 students from seven high schools in Western Massachusetts. Participants were asked to respond to a demographic questionnaire. The information from the questionnaire was used to divide participants into groups based on athletic status (athlete and non-athlete), family background (intact 2-parent, divorced 1-parent, and divorced/remarried 2-parent), and gender. Participants were selected for the study and grade point averages (GPAs) were recorded. A 2 x 2 x 3 independent groups factorial analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used to analyze the difference in the mean GPA between gender, athletic status, and family background. The interaction effects were not significant (p> .05), therefore, the main effects were examined. The mean GPA for the females was significantly higher (p .001 than the males. The mean GPA for the athletes was significantly higher (p .001) than the non-athletes. Students from intact 2-parent families had a significantly (p

Riley and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 118 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this investigation is to contribute to the body of knowledge in the area of effective time management skills among African American and Hispanic male student athletes and their academic achievement utilizing the Educational Longitudinal Study of 2002 (ELS: 2002) Base year thru the First follow-up database. The researcher has assessed indicators (socioeconomic status, time use patterns, sports participation, and race) within the construct of academic achievement among African American and Hispanic male high school student athletes. Their contribution to the main effects revealed that statistically significant differences exist between the non-sports participant and sports participant groups. After controlling for time spent completing mathematics homework and socioeconomic status, the findings revealed that time spent completing math homework was significantly related to academic achievement for African American and Hispanic male student athletes. Time spent watching television was not significantly related to academic achievement for African American and Hispanic male student athletes. For the variable time spent playing on the computer game, the analysis indicated that the detrimental effect of time spent playing video/computer games was the same for African American and Hispanic male student athletes. Finally, it is noteworthy that effective use of time (i.e., playing video games less) and sports participation positively influences academic achievement of African American and Hispanic males high school student athletes. Strategies were uncovered for possible future research among African American and Hispanic male student athletes to increase academic achievement levels.
