CoSIDA Digest - 3 C o S I D A CoSIDA Membership Approves Executive Director Proposal; Search Process Begins CoSIDA membership approved an amendment to its constitution to add an executive director to its leadership at its annual business meeting on July 3 in San Diego. The amendment passed with a near-unanimous vote of all present at the meeting. The search process has begun with a nine-member search committee put in place by the CoSIDA Board in San Diego. The search committee con- sists of past presidents Langston Rogers (Ole Miss), Pete Moore (Syracuse) and Ed Carpenter (Boston Univ.); CoSIDA treasurer Dave Wohlhueter (Cor- nell); university division members Carol Hudson (Old Dominion), Judy Will- son (Louisiana-Monroe) and Justin Doherty (Wisconsin); college division members Eric McDowell (Union) and Blake Timm (Pacific). The goal for the search process is to have an executive director in place by March 1, 2008. Along with being the administrator for CoSIDA, the executive direc- tor would be charged with creating a long-term strategic plan for CoSIDA as well as representing the organization at other national conventions, including NACDA and NCAA, as well as both games, national championship games and other events. The position would also work at developing relationships with potential corporate sponsors, peer leaders of other athletics organiza- tions and other important contacts. The executive director would report to the CoSIDA Board of Directors.

    The Knight Commission on Intercollegiate Athletics: Why It Needs Fixing A Collection of Related Commentaries By Dr. Frank G. Splitt The Drake Group http://thedrakegroup.org/ December 2, 2009 Telling the truth about a given condition is absolutely requisite to any possibility of reforming it. – Barbara Tuchman The Knight Foundation's signature work is its Journalism Program that focuses on leading journalism excellence into the digital age—excellence meaning the fair, accurate, contextual pursuit of truth. – The Knight Foundation Website, 2009 INTRODUCTION TO THE COMMENTARIES SUMMARY – The Knight Commission on Intercollegiate Athletics was established in 1989 by the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation. Under the strong leadership of its founding co- chairs, the Rev. Theodore M. Hesburgh and Dr. William C. Friday, the Commission set forth to put pressure on the NCAA to clean up its own act before Congress stepped in to do it for them. Subsequent to their tenure the Commission strayed far off the course they set. Can colleges control the NCAA? The answer, plain and simple, is no. Neither can the Foundation’s Commission on Intercollegiate Athletics as it is presently structured—it needs to be fixed first. To this end, The Drake Group has urged the president and CEO of the Knight Foundation to take a hard look at the Commission, arguing that the Commission has not only moved off mission, but has morphed into an unofficial arm of the NCAA as well—it seems time for critical introspection. This collection of commentaries tells how and why this situation developed and what might be done about it.

  • April 9, 2008 President Myles Brand National Collegiate Athletic
    April 9, 2008 President Myles Brand National Collegiate Athletic Association 700 W. Washington Street P.O. Box 6222 Indianapolis, Indiana 46206-6222 Dear President Brand: The undersigned NCAA college presidents and athletic directors write because of our concern for the values of higher education and sports and the health and safety of college students who we seek to mentor and protect. This communication reflects the views of our colleagues at more than 280 NCAA schools that alcohol advertising and college sports are a bad mix. We respectfully request that the issue of televised beer advertising during the NCAA tournament once again be considered by the NCAA’s Division I Board of Directors and the Executive Committee in their upcoming meetings. The most recent discussion of the issue occurred in 2005, with no change in NCAA policy. Since then, beer advertising during the games continues to undermine the many positive attributes of college sports and taints the NCAA’s status as an inspirational youth brand. We find it odd that the NCAA’s advertising and promotional standards purport to “exclude those advertisements and advertisers…that do not appear to be in the best interests of higher education and student-athletes,” yet allow beer advertising. We note that NCAA policies explicitly exclude alcohol advertising, yet permit ads for beverages with alcohol content of 6% or less. NCAA policies also impose limitations on the number and running time for ads during the final tournament games. These “restrictions” favor form over substance. Given the persistent problems caused by underage and excessive college drinking, much of it in the form of beer, we find it inconceivable that the NCAA’s profiting from beer promotion during the telecasts of college basketball games comports with the best interests of higher education, sports, or student welfare.

  • Collegiate Athletic Reform in the Age of Academic Capitalism
    Journal of Issues in Intercollegiate Athletics, 2009, 2, 76-92 76 © 2009 College Sport Research Institute Clashing Models of Commercial Sport in Higher Education: Implications for Reform and Scholarly Research ____________________________________________________________ Allen Sack University of New Haven ____________________________________________________________ Big-time college sport has successfully weathered one wave of reform after another for over 100 years. Yet, passionate debates continue regarding the educational impact of highly commercialized sport in American universities. The major purpose of this study is to identify the issues and assumptions that divide reformers and reform groups. It also makes explicit the conceptual models—intellectual elitist, academic capitalist, and athletes rights—they use to interpret the reality of commercialized college sport. This study does not test the validity of each model. Rather it explores logical connections between these models and reform policies likely to be pursued by those who embrace them. These conceptual models can also serve as building blocks for theory and future scholarly research. No sooner had collegiate sport emerged as a popular form of commercial entertainment in the latter nineteenth century, than it spawned movements for reform. A number of scholars (e.g., Benford, 2007; Craughron, 2001; Gerdy, 2006a; Smith, 2009) have chronicled the scores of reform initiatives and movements that have been launched since that time. A close look at the literature reveals that early reformers viewed commercialism (making money from college sport) and professionalism (paying players to compete) as a threat to academic values and integrity (e.g. Savage, 1929). College sport has weathered one wave of reform after another for over 100 years.
