Larry Judge, Boo Schexnayder, While the Capital One Cup has some good intentions, I have a number of issues with Gary Winckler, Ralph Vernacchia how the winner and rankings are determined. All NCAA sports are not included and the sports receiving point values are broken down by a tier system. The website states the tier system has been determined by: “fan interest, school participation, and other fac- tors.” Tier One sports have “triple value”; Tier Two sports have “double value” and Tier Published by Renaissance Publishing LLC Three points “remain the same” (wording from their website). 110 Veterans Memorial Blvd., Suite 123, Outdoor Track & Field was placed in Tier 2. Cross country and indoor track & field Metairie, LA 70005 for each gender were assigned to Tier 3.

It’s imperative we improve our gate receipts.This we cannot ignore. Our sports have very large participation numbers but lags when it comes to spectators. My initial reaction to the Cup is it further allows for the “rich to get richer.” On the men’s side, Tier 1 comprises football, basketball and baseball; while the women’s top tier USTFCCCA contains volleyball, basketball, and softball. A school’s final points come from top 10 fin- ishes at the NCAA Championships and the sports official final coaches’ poll. Some of National Office these sports are clearly revenue producers around the country, particularly if a school 1100 Poydras Street, Suite 1750 has a top 10 program in the sport. Revenue helps everyone in athletics but, the Tier One New Orleans, LA 70163 grouping leads university and athletic administrators to further emphasize specific sports and leave others out.

At first glance, this may appear in a positive light for the NCAA and our sport programs. But with further review, we find that our sports of indoor and outdoor track & field and cross country are not given top-tier posi- tions. The ramifications of the process could be very dangerous for the long-term future of our sports, and I want you to know the national office and our Division I Track& BETH ALFORD-SULLIVAN PRESIDENT, NCAA DIVISION I TRACK AND FIELD COACHES Field Executive Committee are already working on ways to respond to and to draw attention to this issue. This is an example of why it is important to work toward creating a solid and stable environment for the future of our sports.

She competed in both the long jump and the 4 x 100 meter relay in the 1956 Olympics, where she won the bronze medal in the latter. In 1958, she became the first American woman to long-jump 20 feet. She was a member of several of TSU’s national champion relay teams. Matthews was born in 1935 in Griffin, Georgia. She attended David T. Howard High School, which produced several other world-class athletes (including high-jumper Mildred McDaniel Singleton); a gym teacher at Howard, Marion Armstrong-Perkins (Morgan), encouraged her to participate in sports.i After Matthews’s graduation from high school, she first attended Bethune Cookman College, and she then competed for the Chicago Catholic Youth Organization before she enrolled at TSU. Matthews was known for pushing her teammates in practice: Wilma Rudolph said, “Margaret would openly challenge anybody on the track. Every day. You'd think 'My God, I have to feel this every day?'”ii As a Tigerbelle, Matthews won the AAU outdoor long jump title four years in a row (from 1956 to 1959) and the 100 meter outdoor title once (in 1958)iii. Although she set an American record of 19 feet, 9.25 inches in the long jump at the 1956 Olympic Trialsiv, the Olympic Games did not go well for her: she fouled on her first two attempts and jumped far short of her best on the third jump, so she did not qualify for the finalsv.

  • A Mixed Methods Exploratory Study of Black Male Student Athletes
    A MIXED METHODS EXPLORATORY STUDY OF BLACK MALE STUDENT ATHLETES’ EXPERIENCES AT A HISTORICALLY BLACK UNIVERSITY by JOSEPH NEHEMIAH COOPER (Under the Direction of Billy Hawkins) ABSTRACT The purpose of this study was to identify key influences associated with the academic achievement and college experiences of Black male student athletes at a Historically Black University (HBU) in the southeastern United States. An HBU was selected for this study, both because of its unique educational environment and because there is a dearth of research on student athletes’ experiences at these institutions. This mixed methods exploratory study involved an institutional document review, a Student Athlete College Experiences Questionnaire (SACEQ), three focus group interviews, and four in-depth individual interviews. A concurrent triangulation exploratory design allowed qualitative and quantitative data to be collected simultaneously, analyzed independently, and integrated at the interpretation phase (Creswell, 2009). Participants in this study were Black male student athletes who participated in football and/or men’s basketball at the targeted HBU. Data was analyzed using an interpretive interactionism paradigmatic stance to attain a deeper understanding of the lived experiences and perceptions of the participants (Denzin, 2001). Additionally, institutional theory (Powell & DiMaggio, 1991) was applied to highlight key institutional practices at an HBU that contributed to Black male student athletes’ academic achievement and positive college experiences.
