  • Field Studies: NCAA Athletic Director Hiring Criteria and Career Pathways from 2010-19
    7 MAY 2021 Field Studies: NCAA Athletic Director Hiring Criteria and Career Pathways from 2010-19 Volume 3 Issue 1 Preferred Citation: Brooks, S.N., Gallagher, K.L, Lofton, R., Brenneman, L. (2021). Field Studies: NCAA Athletic Director Hiring Criteria and Career Pathways from 2010-19. Retrieved from Global Sport Institute at Arizona State University (GSI Working Paper Series Volume 3 Issue 1): https://globalsport.asu.edu/resources/field-studies-ncaa-athletic-director-hiring- criteria-and-career-pathways-2010-19 Abstract Black, Indigenous, and people of Color leaders in sport face an uphill battle when trying to reach the highest levels of leadership. There are related outcomes for White women as well. Previously, we have found that collegiate and professional head football coaches who are Black men are required to have more and better success in directly relevant experiences. The purpose of this field study was to examine hiring patterns for athletic directors over a ten-year window between 2010 and 2019. Data were analyzed to compare total numbers and percentages of athletic directors hired across race/ethnicity and gender. We found what we expected: race/ethnicity and gender continue to serve as mediating factors in athletic director hires. Results provide evidence that race/ethnicity and gender do matter, but not in isolation – there is an intersection of race/ethnicity and gender that favors men over women and Whites over BIPOC athletic directors. More research is needed to understand the experiences of Black women, as well as Asian Americans, Latinos, and Native and Indigenous men and women, who are nearly or wholly absent.
