Sports Management NCAA NCAA Sanctions college student-athletes The purpose of this dissertation study was to explain the impacts of National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) sanctions on student-athletes as they relate to organizational justice. Currently, when the NCAA assigns sanctions, they negatively affect many innocent student-athletes. In fact, the vast majority of these student-athletes that are punished had nothing to do with the acts committed in and or around their schools. Rather, it is only a few fellow peers, coaches, administrators, boosters, etc. involved, yet the NCAA assigns a one size fits all penalty to member schools. To date, literature has focused on past violations looking more at the macro scale specifics within past cases, the big business of college athletics, and also theories as to why student-athletes may choose to break rules (Cullen, Latessa, & Johnson 2012; Weston, 2011). However, little to no research exists on the qualitative side to take a closer look at what and how the sanctioned penalties actually affect these student-athletes. The researcher conducted a qualitative study to identify, assess, and explain the impact of NCAA sanctions on student-athletes as they relate to specific portions of organizational justice. These interviews were semi-structured and meant to evoke storytelling from former student-athletes that played football at a Division I FBS University amid violations at the given institution. The researcher utilized narrative inquiry as the method to paint this picture of these affected student-athletes. Through these interviews, key themes were uncovered. These key themes included a sense of loss, corruption, disappointment, change/questioning, and stress/instabilility. Furthermore, these key themes are tied to the applicable theory of organizational justice, specifically the portions of procedural justice, interactive justice and retributive justice. It is with great optimism that the researcher believes this study will paint a clear picture, so the NCAA can better reform these penalties in a way that addresses true wrong doers, but also leaves those out of harm’s way that were not involved with violations committed at their school. 2018-11-02 English text The Ohio State University / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=osu153201888917044 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=osu153201888917044 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
