DAY 4 & 5 - 3-8 - 3-9-12 WARM-UP
(Day 1) Research DUEL IN THE DESERT (NBA event) - provide details. (Day 2) Sean Combs son will be playing college sports - where and what?
ACTIVITY 1
Create an organization of the Athletic Department at Northern - start with the Athletic Director at the top - next level should be head coaches, etc. Make sure all sports are included (including females). Look at the Northern site or DPS site and see if mention is made of Title IX - - if so - provide what the statement is.
Do all sports at Northern require a student to try-out? Which sport at Northern has had the best record of wins-losses? In your opinion - which sport has the best attendance record? Which current coach has been with Northern the longest? What could be done to try and increase the attendance at games?
ACTIVITY 2
NCAA and college sports. Do research to determine answers to the questions below. Cite the addresses of the website for you obtain the information.
1. Under what president was the NCAA formed - in what year?
2. What player returned the Heisman Trophy and what were the circumstances?
3. The moral logic is hard to fathom: the NCAA bans personal messages on the bodies of the players, and penalizes players for trading their celebrity status for discounted tattoos—but it codifies precisely how and where commercial insignia from multinational corporations can be displayed on college players, for the financial benefit of the colleges. While the NCAA investigated him and his father for the recruiting fees they’d allegedly sought, Cam Newton compliantly wore at least ______corporate logos— on his jersey, on his helmet visor, on each wristband, on his pants, on his shoes, and one on the headband he wears under his helmet—as part of Auburn’s ______million deal with ______.
4. College athletes gain exposure by playing in games televised by ESPN. Although the athletes are not paid to participate, do you think this type of exposures basically guarantees them a foot in the door with the NBA, NFL, etc. and the athlete and their families should be happy for future benefits? Be specific on your thoughts.
5. Corporations offer money so they can profit from the glory of college athletes, and the universities grab it. In 2010, despite the faltering economy, a single college athletic league, the football-crazed ______, became the first to crack the billion-dollar barrier in athletic receipts. The Big Ten pursued closely at $905 million. That money comes from a combination of ticket sales, concession sales, merchandise, licensing fees, and other sources—but the great bulk of it comes from television contracts.
6. In theory, the NCAA’s passion to protect the noble amateurism of college athletes should prompt it to focus on head coaches in the high-revenue sports—basketball and football—since holding the top official accountable should most efficiently discourage corruption. The problem is that the coaches’ growing power has rendered them, unlike their players, ever more immune to oversight. According to research by Charles Clotfelter, an economist at Duke, the average compensation for head football coaches at public universities, now more than ______, has grown 750 percent (adjusted for inflation) since 1984; that’s more than 20 times the cumulative 32 percent raise for college professors. For top basketball coaches, annual contracts now exceed ______million, augmented by assorted bonuses, endorsements, country-club memberships, the occasional private plane, and in some cases a negotiated percentage of ticket receipts. (Oregon’s ticket concessions netted former football coach Mike Bellotti an additional $631,000 in 2005.) PAGE 5
7. Cognizant of its precarious financial base, the NCAA has in recent years begun to pursue new sources of revenue. Taking its cue from member schools such as Ohio State (which in 2009 bundled all its promotional rights—souvenirs, stadium ads, shoe deals—and outsourced them to the international sports marketer IMG College for a guaranteed $11 million a year), the NCAA began to exploit its vault of college sports on film. For ______apiece, NCAA On Demand offers DVDs of more than 200 memorable contests in men’s ice hockey alone.
8. What rule did the NCAA waive in 1971 relating to Marshall University - what were the circumstances?
9. In your opinion, do you think that the NCAA helps keep corruption out of college sports - - why or why not? If we did not have the NCAA, how could universities avoid corruption? Be specific.
