Promoting Diversity in Coaching Positions in Division I Athletics

Posted on | by Kelvin

1. What can athletic departments and hiring committees do to encourage diversity in coaching positions in
Division I athletics?
2. Powell noted that White men, who hold many of the power positions in Division I sports, tend to only pay
attention to other Whites since they most closely associate with that racial group. How can hiring committees
be composed to avoid such favoritism?
3. According to Legette-Jack, a Black woman trying to become a head coach often needs some luck to get
noticed. Knowing this, what can Black female assistant coaches who want to become head coaches do to get
noticed by a mostly White establishment in Division I athletics?

 

 

The Intersection of Sports and Politics: Analyzing the Impact of the 1980 Summer Olympics Boycott

Posted on | by Kelvin

With all the corruption and politics that have been involved in sports over the years both in the U.S. and internationally some might argue that sport is so intrinsically tied to politics that it is naïve to believe that it could ever be free from political actions like boycotts. Others contend that athletes or fans bear the unfair burden for political uses of sport, especially boycotts.

please answer the following:

Choose an instance of a boycott or strike in sports and briefly discuss it (it can be from the U.S. or internationally).
Who suffered in your opinion the most from the strike or boycott?
What ethical constraints, if any, should there be on political uses of sport? Why? How realistic do these seem?

Setting objectives for events to be held in a sport facility

One of the biggest issues in setting objectives for events to be held in a sport facility are those that may be beneficial socially or financially but are contrary to the mission of the sport facility. These may include events that may be politically, culturally, or socially motivated and may cause questions in the community. As a sport facility manager, choose a potentially controversial event that might be held at your sport facility. What questions would probably be asked of you by (a) the facility ownership and (b) the community? How would you answer those questions and explain the justification for this event?

 

 

 

 

Student athletics

Posted on | by

 

 

 

 

 

It has been a long-held practice that the NCAA does not believe in paying players from any sport to play or profit from the use of their name or image. Their belief has always been that student athletics are in college to earn a degree. In 2019, the NCAA came under fire when Governor Gavin Newsom of California signed a bill that would in essence allow that to happen in the state of California. This year it has become a well known practice for players to be paid for the use of their name and image thus changing the face of College Sports forever. This ruling along with the “Transfer Portal” has turned these student athletes into professional players. Now it’s your time.

Answer the questions below

1. Do you think student athletes should receive compensation for playing their sport or for allowing their name or image to be used for advertising purposes? Remember, most of the student athletes are not having to pay for their schooling, books and in some cases their room and food. (In other words, as far as there 4 year education, they are receiving a free ride).

2. In answering this question, remember, we are not just talking men’s football and basketball. If you pay the athletes from one sport you have to pay all athletes (men and women) of all sports. Assuming that the compensation for using the student athletes name and images will come from the sponsor/advertiser, where should the money come from to pay their salaries?

3. Do you think that this change in the student athlete will eventually lead to the student athlete being declared as a “Professional Athlete” and covered under the constraints’ of the NLRB (National Labor Relations Board)?
