Breaking Their Promise to College Athletes?

Are Institutions Delivering on Their Promise of an Education to College Athletes? MARCH 30 FREE WEBINAR APRIL 18 ALLEN SACK NATIONAL SYMPOSIUM A stellar line up of expert panelists, including faculty, academic advising professionals, and college athlete advocates, discuss the tenuous educational connection between intercollegiate athletics at the commercialized NCAA Division I competition level and the academy. Are college athletes truly being provided with the education they were promised? How is that education being measured? Are there differences in the academic advising and treatment of athletes in revenue versus non-revenue sports and, if so, what are they? Are graduation rates the best measure of educational outcomes? Should other alternatives or additional measures be considered, and if so, what are they? How extensive is the tendency of some institutions to focus on eligibility maintenance over access to a real education? To what extent are athletes in control of choice of academic majors? Are athletics time demands realistic, and if not, is there a will on the part of the NCAA or individual institutions of higher education to put different guardrails in place? Are coaches adequately evaluated and held accountable for the graduation or academic performance of athletes they recruit and, if not, are there mechanisms to do so?
