  • Mega Conferences
    Non-revenue sports Football, of course, provides the impetus for any conference realignment. In men's basketball, coaches will lose the built-in recruiting tool of playing near home during conference play and then at Madison Square Garden for the Big East Tournament. But what about the rest of the sports? Here's a look at the potential Missouri Pittsburgh Syracuse Nebraska Ohio State Northwestern Minnesota Michigan St. Wisconsin Purdue State Penn Michigan Iowa Indiana Illinois future of the non-revenue sports at Rutgers if it joins the Big Ten: BASEBALL Now: Under longtime head coach Fred Hill Sr., the Scarlet Knights made the Rutgers NCAA Tournament four times last decade. The Big East Conference’s national clout was hurt by the defection of Miami in 2004. The last conference team to make the College World Series was Louisville in 2007. After: Rutgers could emerge as the class of the conference. You find the best baseball either down South or out West. The power conferences are the ACC, Pac-10 and SEC. A Big Ten team has not made the CWS since Michigan in 1984. MEN’S CROSS COUNTRY Now: At the Big East championships in October, Rutgers finished 12th out of 14 teams.

INTRODUCTION Collegiate athletics has become big business in America, generating billions of dollars each year. Division I-A' football and men's basketball are among the most popular sports in America, and they are the revenue generators in collegiate athletics. Central Broadcasting Systems (CBS) and the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) are currently under an eleven-year, $6 billion contract for the television broadcast rights for the NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament.2 Fox is paying $330 million for the right to broadcast the Fiesta, Sugar, and Orange Bowls from 2007-2010 and the right to broadcast the college football national championship games from 2007-2009. 3 With so much money spent on collegiate football and men's basketball, it appears that successful programs in these sports offer universities an opportunity to generate significant revenue.

  • The Best Coach Evaluation Based on CW-TOPSIS Xudong Yang North China Electric Power University, Baoding, China
    2nd Workshop on Advanced Research and Technology in Industry Applications (WARTIA 2016) The Best Coach Evaluation Based on CW-TOPSIS Xudong Yang North China Electric Power University, Baoding, China Keywords: best coach, evaluation, Composite Weight, TOPSIS, AHP, entropy Abstract. We analyze the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) and the Technique for Order Prefer- ence by Similarity to Ideal Solutions (TOPSIS). We build an old model based on the combination of them, which is named AHP-TOPSIS. The old model is built as: First, use the AHP to determine the weight of each factor on the coach’s evaluation. Then, use TOPSIS to rank the coaches. After ana- lyzing the result of the old model, we draw a conclusion that the weight vector calculated by AHP is subjective. Therefore, we decide to find a more objective method.Next, we build a totally new evaluation method based on the Entropy and AHP, which is named Composite Weight-TOPSIS (CWTOPSIS). The AHP is a representative of calculating subjective weight, which ignores the ob- jective factors. The Entropy is a representative of calculating objective weight. It depends on objec- tive numerical indicators, but ignores the relevant experts experience and subjective judgment. So we introduced the preference factor β to combine them together. We compare the results of the two models, and we can see the improved one has more advantages. Then, we take other factors into consideration: time the coach coaches and gender of the coach. We analyze them separately, and draw the conclusion that the time factor does affect the evaluation result and the gender factor has little influence on the final result.

Why does a coach go through All-Star Game Nomination Deadline this? Not for the pay, but very simply for two reasons: we love March 1 the kids we work with and we love the game of basketball. I wish all of you a great season. Work hard, good luck and have Girl’s State Tournament fun! March 10-12 Awards Boy’s State Tournament The WBCA has always honored one boys’ and one girls’ coach March 17-19 of the year for high school teams in the state each year. This year we are considering expanding these awards to one coach Academic All-State Nomination Deadline in each division. So, instead of 2, we will have 10 coaches of the year in high school April 1 basketball. This will be voted upon by our Executive Board in January, please contact us with any thoughts on this potentially change. This past year we added staff of the year Team Academic All-State Nom. Deadline awards in college basketball. It was well received by our college schools. As with other April 15 WBCA awards, you have to be a member of the WBCA to be eligible for the awards.
