However, aside from the initial reforms to the game of football, many critics of the Association contend that the NCAA has focused more on commercial gains than the needs of their student-athletes (Byers, 1995; DeVenzio, 1986; Knight Foundation Commission, 2001; Sperber, 1990). Both Cedric Dempsey and Myles Brand have expressed the need for the NCAA to become more aware of the conditions student-athletes face both on and off the field. Therefore, this study utilized face-to-face individual interviewing method, to investigate varsity student-athletes in revenue producing sports (a) general perceptions of the NCAA and (b) whether these perceptions match the NCAA’s stated purposes and goals. Taken as a whole, the study sought to render qualitative data to better understand what factors played a role in student-athletes’ perceptions, what experiences have had the greatest influence on these perceptions, and what are the greatest concerns of student-athletes in revenue producing sports. In this study, the researcher discusses how the identified themes help answer the research questions and relate to or expand upon the literature. The researcher also discusses the emergence of a new theory that is grounded in the data. Lastly, the author offers several recommendations based on the study’s findings and discusses future research on this topic. 2005-08-01 English text The Ohio State University / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=osu1122396124 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=osu1122396124 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
