Relationships Between Athletic Success and Applications Abstract This study was conducted to see what relationship exists between markers of athletic success of NCAA Division I FBS football teams and college applications. There have been multiple studies in the past that have proven this theory to be correct. However, the goal of this study was to understand if these same results can be seen with members outside of the power five conferences. Using systematic sampling, 31 members of the MWC, Conference-USA, MAC, Sun Belt, and AAC were chosen for this study. The data was collected over a 3-year period from 2012-2014 for all athletic success variables, which were then examined with total applications and the change in applications from year to year to see what relationships exists.

  • Focus Winter 2007 12
    12 FOCUS WINTER 2007 the Broncos’ EPIC JOURNEY It started in December 2005 with Chris Petersen’s promotion from offensive coordina- tor to head coach and ended on New Year’s Day 2007 with a stunning and astounding 43-42 overtime win over Oklahoma in the Fiesta Bowl (pictured). FOCUS looks back at the 2006 Boise State football team’s 13-0 storybook season. (John Kelly photo) FOCUS WINTER 2007 13 yes, IT REALLY HAPPENED By Bob Evancho At times, it still seems surreal — as if what we watched unfold on the evening of New Year’s Day didn’t really happen: Did we just tie the game on fourth-and-18 from the 50 with seven seconds left? Did Vinny just hit “Shoe” with that TD pass? DID IAN REALLY JUST SCORE ON A STATUE OF LIBERTY TO WIN THE GAME?! MAGIC MOMENTS Ian Johnson races to the end zone for the game-winning 2-point conversion against Oklahoma as guard Jeff Cavender (64) watches. Opposite page top: Fiesta Bowl Defensive MVP Marty Tadman rejoices in the PHOTOS JOHN KELLY victory. Bottom: Quarterback Jared Zabransky hoists the Offensive MVP award. 14 FOCUS WINTER 2007 y now, we all know it wasn’t a dream. And by now, the adjectives B to describe that win and those moments have been exhausted. Weeks later, Bronco Nation has come back down to Earth. Since Boise State’s sublime 43-42 overtime win over Oklahoma in the Tostitos Fiesta Bowl, the mood of the Boise State faithful has slowly changed from unfettered exuberance to warm contentment, the kind that lasts for months.

  • Congressional Hearings and the Division I (Football Bowl Subdivision) Postseason Arrangement: a Content Analysis on Letters, Testimonies, and Symposiums ______
    Journal of Issues in Intercollegiate Athletics, 2011, 4, 1-23 1 © 2011 College Sport Research Institute Congressional Hearings and the Division I (Football Bowl Subdivision) Postseason Arrangement: A Content Analysis on Letters, Testimonies, and Symposiums ____________________________________________________________ Chad Seifried Louisiana State University Todd Smith Louisiana State University ____________________________________________________________ The purpose of this investigation aimed to examine public information presented at U.S. Congressional Hearings regarding the legitimacy of the Bowl Championship Series (BCS) arrangement from important stakeholders related to the Division I (Football Bowl Subdivision). This work centered on using actual transcripts, letters, and testimonies published by the: a) Senate Committee on the Judiciary (2003); b) Judiciary Subcommittee on Anti-trust, Competition Policy, and Consumer Rights (2005); c) House Committee on Ways and Means (2006); and the d) Energy and Commerce Subcommittee on Commerce, Trade and Consumer Protection (2009). A content analysis identified several themes which juxtaposed BCS-charter members and their supporters against non-BCS conferences and their supporters. The various themes emerging from this public discourse centered on the: a) welfare of student-athletes; b) protecting the sanctity and tradition of bowl games; c) the growing financial chasm between BCS and non-BCS institutions; d) logistical concerns related to alternative postseason formats; e) antitrust concerns regarding the current BCS agreement; and f) the fundamental fairness of the BCS arrangement, structure, and selection process compared to alternative formats (e.g., playoff). Introduction V arious congressional hearings conducted in the United States between 2003 and 2009 centered on the National Collegiate Athletic Association's (NCAA) Division I Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) postseason arrangement.
