Balancing Academics, Community Engagement, and Athletics in the University An Open Letter to the University and San Joaquin Valley Communities November 3, 2008 ____________________________________________________________________________ To: Dr. John Welty, President All members of California State University, Fresno The Communities of the San Joaquin Valley ____________________________________________________________________________ A small group of individuals ("Friends of Fresno State") has been and are involved in a variety of activities and programs associated with the University.

We came together with a shared belief that some of the serious and reasonably well-known issues involving the University and its broad communities of interest both within and outside of the University had reached a level that was becoming harmful. It was our view that it would be worthwhile to find a set of university “best practices” that, if implemented, would make significant progress in resolving some of the concerns that have been raised with respect to the university.

Our project was welcomed by Dr. Welty and partly supported by the University and administered through the Fresno Regional Foundation. No findings or conclusions or recommendations were discussed outside of Friends of Fresno State and its consultants prior to the issuance of this report. Information is included regarding the process that was followed. Many people were interviewed and their views sought.

Relationships Between Athletic Success and Applications Abstract This study was conducted to see what relationship exists between markers of athletic success of NCAA Division I FBS football teams and college applications. There have been multiple studies in the past that have proven this theory to be correct. However, the goal of this study was to understand if these same results can be seen with members outside of the power five conferences. Using systematic sampling, 31 members of the MWC, Conference-USA, MAC, Sun Belt, and AAC were chosen for this study. The data was collected over a 3-year period from 2012-2014 for all athletic success variables, which were then examined with total applications and the change in applications from year to year to see what relationships exists.
