The document is a 3,000 word essay analyzing the distribution of power at SEC universities through the lens of Iris Young's theory of social justice. It uses the University of Missouri protests in 2015 and Williams-Brice Stadium at the University of South Carolina as examples. The essay argues that SEC football generates substantial revenue for universities, awarding football players more power and opportunity than other students. However, Young's model advocates equal distribution of non-material goods like power, which is not followed. The protests were only successful because the football team joined, showing they had more influence due to the money/power their sport generates. In conclusion, Young's theory cannot be fully applied to SEC schools where certain students have disproportionate power and influence

This document summarizes the requirements for NCAA, NAIA, and NJCAA athletic eligibility. It provides background information on each organization, including when they were founded and how many schools are members. Key requirements are outlined for NCAA Divisions I, II, and III as well as for NAIA eligibility. Important terms like GPA, SAT, ACT, and core course GPA are defined. The document stresses that one-third of NCAA eligibility requirements must be met in 9th grade and advises checking with counselors on required classes.
The NCAA makes over $11 billion per year from revenue generated by college sports, particularly from television broadcast deals for high-profile games. However, student-athletes see little of this money and are prohibited from being paid. While the NCAA argues that college sports are meant to be amateur, not professional, the document makes the case that for many student-athletes their sport serves as a de facto job that prevents them from working to earn money. It is proposed that some of the substantial revenue generated from college sports should be paid to student-athletes in the form of small stipends to help cover basic living expenses.
College athletes provide immense value to their universities but are only compensated through scholarships. While scholarships cover tuition and housing, they do not cover other living expenses. A small stipend could help cover these costs while maintaining the fairness of the NCAA system. Implementing a 1% tax on media contracts could fund such a stipend without disrupting the current model. Paying athletes direct salaries would be too costly and damage competitive balance, destroying what makes college sports unique. Overall, a small additional stipend is a reasonable compromise that benefits athletes without commercializing the NCAA system.

It also explains the different NCAA divisions and eligibility requirements.

The document discusses whether college athletes should be paid. It notes that while college sports generate billions for the NCAA and schools, athletes receive no pay. Coaches earn millions but athletes face risks of injury without sufficient medical coverage. Paying athletes could help them afford costs and support their families, as they dedicate long hours to sports. However, others argue payment could compromise athletes' student status and priorities. On balance, a regulated payment system that also supports education merits consideration to fairly compensate athletes.

It introduces the athletic director and staff and provides an overview of the sports offered at each season. The document reviews responsibilities of head coaches such as adhering to eligibility requirements, submitting rosters and scores online, conducting meetings, and managing uniforms and equipment. It also discusses fundraising, transportation, and end-of-year banquets. The goal is for coaches to work as a team to support student athletes and represent the school with pride.
The document discusses several cases of academic fraud involving college athletes at major universities. At UNC from 2007-2009, grades were submitted for 59 students with forged professor signatures, and 43 courses totaling 599 students were taught irregularly. In 2006-2007, 61 Florida State athletes were involved in academic fraud facilitated by a tutor and advisor. At Minnesota in 1999, a tutor admitted to writing over 400 papers for basketball players over 5 years. The document questions the role of educational institutions in supporting athletes academically and connecting athletics to education. It argues it is difficult for athletes to practice values like honesty when involved in fraudulent behavior or when those meant to support them engage in it. It suggests reforms to empower athletes and prioritize

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

RECRUITED?

•Phone call July 1st of senior year.
•Paid official visit invitations for senior year.
•Home visits from coaches senior year.
•Coaches visit high schools with principals permission.
•Coaches attend their tournaments and sometimes even high
school games.
•Coaches spam, call, email, these recruits, their families, and
their coaches as often as the NCAA permits (and then some).
•Blue Chips tend to “commit” to colleges early in the process.
