Beitzel, Michael Lynn All Rights Reserved PLEASE NOTE INFORMATION TO USERS This was produced from a copy of a document sent to us for microfilming. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the material submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or notations which may appear on this reproduction. 1.The sign or “target” for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is “ Missing Page(s)”. If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting through an image and duplicating adjacent pages to assure you of complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a round black mark it is an indication that the film inspector noticed either blurred copy because of movement during exposure, or duplicate copy. Unless we meant to delete copyrighted materials that should not have been filmed, you will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. If copyrighted materials were deleted you will find a target note listing the pages in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., is part of the material being photo­ graphed the photographer has followed a definite method in "sectioning” the material. It is customary to begin filming at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue from left to right in equal sections with small overlaps. If necessary, sectioning is continued again—beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. For any illustrations that cannot be reproduced satisfactorily by xerography, photographic prints can be purchased at additionai cost and tipped into your xerographic copy. Requests can be made to our Dissertations Customer Services Department. 5. Some pages in any document may have indistinct print. In all cases we have filmed the best available copy.

ADVERTISEMENTS coll=orl-sports-headlines College baseball changes looming Coaches fear new rules aimed at helping academic performance will end up hurting the game. Dave Curtis Sentinel Staff Writer May 22, 2007 South Carolina baseball Coach Ray Tanner fumes every time he hears about the changes. The NCAA, in an effort to boost the academic performance of players throughout college baseball, has approved changes Tanner thinks may harm the game he loves. "There are going to be issues with this," Tanner said on a Southeastern Conference coaches teleconference earlier this month. "And the caliber of play in college baseball is probably going to go down." "This" is a four-pronged overhaul of Division I college baseball rules approved in April by the NCAA Board of Directors and set to take effect for the 2008-09 academic year. Starting then, teams will face new standards for doling out their scholarships and new limits to the numbers on their rosters. Players must be academically eligible in late summer rather than mid-winter. And any player who transfers to another Division I school must sit out a year, a rule previously enforced only in football, basketball and men's ice hockey. The changes, recommended by a study group of coaches and administrators, are designed to increase the academic performance of D-I players. But they will affect almost every corner of the game, from summer leagues to high-school recruits to teams' budgets.

  • Renormalizing Individual Performance Metrics for Cultural Heritage Management of Sports Records
    Renormalizing individual performance metrics for cultural heritage management of sports records Alexander M. Petersen1 and Orion Penner2 1Management of Complex Systems Department, Ernest and Julio Gallo Management Program, School of Engineering, University of California, Merced, CA 95343 2Chair of Innovation and Intellectual Property Policy, College of Management of Technology, Ecole Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne, Lausanne, Switzerland. (Dated: April 21, 2020) Individual performance metrics are commonly used to compare players from different eras. However, such cross-era comparison is often biased due to significant changes in success factors underlying player achievement rates (e.g. performance enhancing drugs and modern training regimens). Such historical comparison is more than fodder for casual discussion among sports fans, as it is also an issue of critical importance to the multi- billion dollar professional sport industry and the institutions (e.g. Hall of Fame) charged with preserving sports history and the legacy of outstanding players and achievements. To address this cultural heritage management issue, we report an objective statistical method for renormalizing career achievement metrics, one that is par- ticularly tailored for common seasonal performance metrics, which are often aggregated into summary career metrics – despite the fact that many player careers span different eras. Remarkably, we find that the method applied to comprehensive Major League Baseball and National Basketball Association player data preserves the overall functional form of the distribution of career achievement, both at the season and career level. As such, subsequent re-ranking of the top-50 all-time records in MLB and the NBA using renormalized metrics indicates reordering at the local rank level, as opposed to bulk reordering by era.
