THE DILEMMA: CAREER TRANSITION OF AFRICAN AMERICAN MALE FOOTBALL PLAYERS AT DIVISION I INSTITUTIONS A Dissertation presented in partial fulfillment of requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of Higher Education The University of Mississippi by KELLEN JAMIL NORTHCUTT August 2013 Copyright © 2013 Kellen Jamil Northcutt ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ABSTRACT The purpose of this qualitative phenomenological study was to explore and understand perceptions of African American male football athletes at Division I institutions that also played professional football, regarding their collegiate experiences and transition from athletics to post- playing careers. The study examined issues of race and social interaction, academic preparation, economic status, leadership opportunities, and the transitions from collegiate and professional sports. The participants in this study consisted of six former NFL players who attended college and played collegiately at NCAA predominately white Division I institutions in the Southern Regional Education Board member states in the United States. Using qualitative interview methods (pre-interview, focus group, individual interview), data was collected and analyzed using critical race and transition theories. The results of the analysis of the interview data identified six major themes: 1) The Importance of Football, 2) The Academic Smokescreen, 3) Issues of Race, 4) Economic Hardships, 5) Student-Athlete Rights, and 6) Difficult Transitions and Identity Issues. ii DEDICATION This research study is dedicated to: My wife and children.

Your sacrifice, unwavering support, wisdom, leadership, and encouragement have molded me into the man I am today. Know that I am truly grateful for you. My late grandparents. I truly understand the sacrifices you made for me to have opportunities to live a better life as an African American. I know that your ceiling was my floor! I hope that you see that I listened to you about the importance of education, in particular, Grandaddy. I can still hear your voice saying, “make sure you get your education; no one can take that from you.” My mentors. These include my parents (Sammy and Theresa Northcutt), Derek Horne, Dr. Derrick Gragg, Ray Farmer, Woodie Dixon, David Cutcliffe, Yvette Rice, Dr. Phyllis Adams, and John Olive. I am thankful for each of you. Your commitment to excellence and heart to serve others is an inspiration.

From school age children competing in recreational leagues to learn character virtues and the importance of physical activity, to professional athletes entertaining the world through competition and serving as role models and heroes, sports are valued and imbedded in American culture. Although sports are an element of popular culture, they have a tremendous impact on society. Sports impact the economy, education, family, and social institutions (Beamon, 2008).

    Head Coach Steve Kragthorpe Steve Kragthorpe Head Coach First Season Steve Kragthorpe, the former head coach at Tulsa University and the architect of one the nation’s most heralded rebuilding efforts, was named the 20th head football coach at the University of Louisville at a press conference on Jan. 9, 2007 in the press lounge at U of L’s Papa John’s Cardinal Stadium. Named as the Golden Hurricane coach on December 18, 2002, Kragthorpe turned around the Tulsa program immediately. Prior to his arrival, Tulsa was a combined 2-21 in 2001 and 2002. However, it didn’t take Kragthorpe long to turn around the Golden Hurricane program, compiling an impressive 29-22 record and guiding Tulsa to bowl games in three of the last four seasons. “Steve has everything I look for in a head coach,” said U of L Vice President and Director of Athletics Tom Jurich. “He has a proven track record and has high integrity, great morals and values. I like that he’s a coach’s son and his father Dave is a highly decorated coach. Steve is a great fit for this community. He has produced extraordinary results in a difficult situation at Tulsa and has endeared himself to that community. Everyone I’ve spoken with nationally says Steve is a great young man and one of the top young offensive minds in the nation. We welcome Steve and his wonderful family to our community and hope they call Louisville home for a long time.” Kragthorpe takes over for Bobby Petrino, who was named the head coach of the Atlanta Falcons and ended his U of L tenure with a 41-9 record.
