Abstract

The purpose of this study was to examine the new Academic Reform Policy being initiated by the NCAA at the Division I-A level of collegiate athletics. This new policy brought a new precedent in collegiate athletics and academics that will be felt for many years to come. This study examined collegiate athletics and academics in general, in order to discover why the NCAA thought this new policy was necessary. This study included research and statistics from the National Collegiate Athletics Association (NCAA) website on all divisions of athletics, in particular athletics at the Division I-A level. The researcher focused the study’s attention on Division I-A football programs by contacting head coach’s and administrators in order to obtain first hand views and opinions on the policy and its possible effect towards their respected football programs. The data was collected through a qualitative process by using one-on-one interviews, surveys and mailed questionnaires.
