Collegiate Sports

Rationale for project

Intercollegiate sport continues to be one of the hallmarks of the North American sports industries. An understanding of the governance and finances of the National Collegiate Athletic Association is key to any analysis of sports management and athletics business.

For this unit of the class, you are to write a report answering the following question:

“Based on the governance structure of the NCAA, the financial realities of the NCAA, and NCAA ‘amateurism,”, should student-athletes be paid by their university for their practice and participation in varsity intercollegiate athletics – and why?”

You will be graded on your consideration of the specific above-mentioned elements and proper utilization and citation of sources, including the Sports Business Journal, and scholarly journals and language usage. The report must be 1750-2500 words and is to be submitted in typed, double-spaced form. A report that does not follow this form (including the citation and scholarly journal requirements) will be deducted one point. This project is worth 15% of your overall grade.

The content area from the rubric will be assessed based on your ability to address NCAA Governance structure, financial realities of the NCAA, and your ability to understand what an amateur athlete truly is.
