    REFLECTIONS ON GEORGETOWN UNIVERSITY ATHLETICS: PAST, PRESENT, AND A PROPOSAL FOR THE FUTURE. A Thesis submitted to the Faculty of The School of Continuing Studies and of The Graduate School of Arts and Sciences in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Liberal Studies By Michael J. Callahan, B.S.F.S Georgetown University Washington, D.C. March 28, 2012 REFLECTIONS ON GEORGETOWN UNIVERSITY ATHLETICS: PAST, PRESENT, AND A PROPOSAL FOR THE FUTURE. Michael J. Callahan, B.S.F.S MALS Mentor: Shelly Habel, Ph.D ABSTRACT Intercollegiate Athletics Programs in America generally follow two models, “Competitive” Athletics and “Participatory” Athletics. “Competitive” athletic teams are well funded and capable of winning conference and NCAA championships. “Participatory” athletic teams are not well funded and are not expected to win. “Participatory” teams are centered around the idea of providing student-athletes an opportunity to compete in a sport they enjoy playing. Georgetown University, a member of the Big East Athletic Conference, is operating its Athletic Department using both the “Competitive” and “Participatory” models. Georgetown University’s marquee athletic program is Men’s Basketball and membership in the Big East Conference has proven to be very valuable for the team and the University. The exposure of the program and the University on national television broadcasts gives Georgetown a tremendous amount of publicity. Revenues from ticket sales and merchandising have also proven to be very lucrative. The Big East Conference is great for the game of basketball but the same cannot be said for all sports at Georgetown.

It was the idea of Georgetown President John J. DeGioia and Head Coach Bob Benson. The squad learns the song during preseason by having each position group sing off against another group with the loser earning extra conditioning the next day.

  • 2016-2017 Georgetown Athletics Parent Handbook
    2016-2017 GEORGETOWN ATHLETICS PARENT HANDBOOK Dear Hoya Families: On behalf of Georgetown's Department of Athletics, let me welcome you to our world of intercollegiate athletics. This Handbook is intended to provide you with helpful information about matters of interest to you, including your appropriate role in athletics at Georgetown and the parameters for navigating the system, if and when questions arise. Please take the time to read through this Handbook at your convenience. This information is important. Though Georgetown is a moderately sized institution, the number of sports teams that our Athletic Department manages is among the largest in the nation. When dealing with a wide variety of issues, we rely upon a shared understanding of mission, goals, and objectives throughout the institution and among our external constituents. In the course of the coming year, we will all depend upon this mutual awareness to stay the course. We also will rely upon the processes set forth in our Handbooks for both student-athletes and parents. You are needed to play an important role in the further education of your daughter or son. While it is less hands-on than in the past, the support you can provide when called upon is invaluable. I look forward to a positive and rewarding relationship. Hoya Saxa, HOYA PARENT 101 WHAT’S A HOYA? Many years ago, when all Georgetown students were required to study Greek and Latin, the University’s teams were nicknamed “The Stonewalls.” It is suggested that a student, using Greek and Latin terms, started the cheer “Hoya Saxa!” which translates into “What Rocks!” The cheer proved popular and the term “Hoyas” was eventually adopted for all Georgetown teams.
