Crouse Follow this and additional works at: https://scholarworks.bgsu.edu/honorsprojects Repository Citation Crouse, Aaron J., "Factors Affecting Student Decisions to Attend Selected BGSU Athletics Events" (2013).

It has been accepted for inclusion in Honors Projects by an authorized administrator of ScholarWorks@BGSU. A. Crouse Bowling Green State University Spring 2013 ABSTRACT The purpose of this study was to determine the factors that increase and decrease the likelihood that students at Bowling Green State University will attend selected athletics events. Students were randomly selected to participate in a survey that featured the sports of football, hockey, volleyball, men’s basketball, and women’s basketball. It was concluded that the type of sport, free student admission, and the skill level of the opponent were to top factors that encouraged students at Bowling Green State University to attend athletic events while the time and date of the event, weather, and importance of the game were the factors that students claimed had the greatest impact on their decisions not to attend a game. INTRODUCTION Bowling Green State University (BGSU) is home to an athletic program that features 18 men’s and women’s varsity sports programs and is one of only 13 schools in the nation to feature an NCAA Division I football and a hockey program as of 2012.

When you entered Bowling Green State University, you became H part of its culture. Thus, it is very important that you have some un- derstanding of BGSU’s history and its traditions. By doing so, the vision state- ment and core values are revealed, not as empty words and phrases, but as meaningful goals which have been part of this institution since its beginning. When Bowling Green State University opened its doors as a teacher train- ing (normal) school in 1914, its enrollment stood at 304, ten faculty had been hired, and the first two planned buildings (Williams Hall and University Hall) were not yet finished. Even then, President Homer Williams had both the vi- sion and unyielding determination to build a university rather than a normal school. He believed in strong academic standards and fought many attempts to keep BGSU from becoming what it is today, a university in which excellence is continually promoted and valued. President Williams would be most pleased 1910 1914 1915 1916 Bowling Green is chosen Classes are held at The first commencement The Bowling Green by representatives of the Bowling Green Normal is held.
