Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Intercollegiate athletics are a multi-million-dollar business on which many universities strive to become dependent for economic profits and marketing leverage. The increased commercialization and revenues of collegiate sports have drawn attention to the overall college experiences of student-athletes, specifically those in revenue generating sports typically football and men's basketball. Yet, the primary roles of the athletic and academic curricula should be to maximize student achievement, as well as prepare student-athletes for life after college. Like all of their peers, African American football student-athletes find themselves in highly competitive academic and athletic environments. However, they continuously encounter experiences in which their race is made salient, actions that thereby intensify their daily stresses. Student-athlete affairs personnel monitor the academic issues and stressors influencing student-athlete decisions. University student-athlete support services are then responsible for monitoring the effects of such decisions, while also being expected to understand that African American student-athletes encounter various challenges that are engrained within the history of sports in the United States, such as the deeply embedded racial tensions and concomitant negative effects of said tensions in American society. This case study explores how systemic racial inequalities impact the academic experiences of African American college football student athletes at a top Division I football program by utilizing a critical race organizational framework. No comprehensive documentation has been designed to specifically address the services that are required to assist in the academic successes of African American football student-athletes. Therefore, I will conduct one-on-one interviews with four athletic academic advisors who work with football student-athletes, as well as four focus groups each consisting of three African American football student-athletes in order to evaluate their experiences. I will then conduct follow-up one-on-one interviews with each focus group participant to give focus to their academic experiences prior to enrolling in college. The goal of this study is to provide university personnel with insights into the current academic experiences of African American football student-athletes at a Division I football program in relation to perceived racial inequalities. The findings will offer implications for policies and procedures impacting the well-being and success of African American college student-athletes, while also encouraging sport practitioners to consider how their beliefs, practices, and the current structure of sport culture may influence the athletic and academic experiences of African American student-athletes.

Book excerpt: This substantially revised edition retains the rich history and context that made the first two editions so widely acclaimed.

The 17 chapters are broken down into seven sections: Historical Analysis of Racism in College Sports. Recruitment, Retention, and NCAA Rules and Regulations. Gender and Race Intersections, The African American Student-Athlete and Popular Culture. Race, Gender, and Fan Support. Racism, Media Exposure, and Stereotyping. Diversity Beyond Black and White. Instructors will find the text equally useful in sport management and sport sociology courses focusing on racism and diversity.
Book Synopsis The Impact of Sports Participation on the Academic Achievement of African American Girls by : Sarita Singleton
Download or read book The Impact of Sports Participation on the Academic Achievement of African American Girls written by Sarita Singleton and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although there are several educational benefits resulting from participation in high school sports, African American students do not always experience the positive outcomes that other populations share. The purpose of this causal comparative study was to investigate the effect of athletic participation on the academic achievement of African American high school female students. The sample consisted of 100 female African American 12th-grade students. Descriptive statistics were collected and analyzed. Analysis involved archival data to determine the grade point averages and graduation rates of student athletes and non-athletes in two urban high schools in Georgia. The study sought to determine if there was a statistically significant disparity between the grade point averages and graduation rates of student athletes and non-athletes and between single sport athletes and multiple sport athletes. Results indicate that there is no statistically significant difference in the grade point averages and graduation rate of student athletes and non-athletes. They also indicate that there is no statistically significant difference in the grade point averages and graduation rate of student athletes who participate in a single sport and those that participate in multiple sports. Findings suggest that participation in athletics should continue to be an area of focus for educational stakeholders as it relates to academic achievement. Recommendations for future research are provided.

Download or read book The New Plantation written by B. Hawkins and published by Springer. This book was released on 2010-02-15 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The New Plantation examines the controversial relationship between predominantly White NCAA Division I Institutions (PWI s) and black athletes, utilizing an internal colonial model. It provides a much-needed in-depth analysis to fully comprehend the magnitude of the forces at work that impact black athletes experiences at PWI s. Hawkins provides a conceptual framework for understanding the structural arrangements of PWI s and how they present challenges to Black athletes academic success; yet, challenges some have overcome and gone on to successful careers, while many have succumbed to these prevailing structural arrangements and have not benefited accordingly. The work is a call for academic reform, collective accountability from the communities that bear the burden of nurturing this athletic talent and the institutions that benefit from it, and collective consciousness to the Black male athletes that make of the largest percentage of athletes who generate the most revenue for the NCAA and its member institutions. Its hope is to promote a balanced exchange in the athletic services rendered and the educational services received.
