Administration of Intercollegiate Athletics, 2nd Edition (EPUB)

With conference realignments, name, image, and likeness (NIL) advancements, multibillion-dollar media rights deals, expanded bowl games and tournaments, and big-money corporate sponsorships, the dynamic world of collegiate sports has seen significant changes since the publication of the previous edition of Administration of Intercollegiate Athletics. The increasing complexity of the sport administrator’s role calls for a college text that keeps up with the times, and Administration of Intercollegiate Athletics, Second Edition does just that. Some of the most informed and experienced professionals in the field of athletics administration have lent their expertise to the updated second edition, making it the most comprehensive resource available today for students aspiring to work in the field and for professionals navigating an increasingly demanding environment. The book gives students a thorough understanding of how university athletic departments run on a daily basis. The text gives students the fundamentals of an athletics administration job through chapters on governing bodies and conference governance, leadership and management, rules compliance, academics, eligibility, and student-athlete development, media relations and production, financial operations and budgeting, marketing, ticketing, licensing, and sponsorships, facility and event management, alumni relations, and support services. To offer more comprehensive discussions of athlete social justice advocacy, gender equity, Title IX compliance, feminist philosophy, and allyship, this version includes a new chapter devoted to diversity, equity, and inclusion. The second edition also covers the emergence of NIL partnerships, legalized sports betting, and esports, as well as the long-term financial effects of COVID-19 on intercollegiate athletic departments at all levels. Administrators at Division II, Division III, junior colleges, and National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) sports departments have the same duties as their Division I counterparts, even if Division I schools receive more attention. The requirements and concerns of administrators at different levels are carefully addressed throughout Administration of Intercollegiate Athletics, Second Edition, even more so than in the first edition. Sidebars for Leadership Lessons, discussion questions, learning exercises, and case studies are among the new and updated features that are intended to improve learning and offer real-world applications of the ideas discussed. In addition, there are sidebars for Industry Profiles that highlight well-known athletics administrators, Technology Tools that highlight the newest innovations that help administrators in their jobs, and Professional Development that give students advice on how to get into and be successful in the field.

A dependable resource for current sport administrators, Administration of Intercollegiate Athletics, Second Edition is a necessary textbook for classes on intercollegiate athletics, sport management, or sport marketing.
