Abstract
Jeremy Bloom, a football player at the University of Colorado, was ruled ineligible to play for the team because he had accepted paid endorsements for professional skiing. The NCAA was the one that made the ruling, and they determined that anyone who is paid for endorsements is not allowed to play in college sports. This paper explains that there is some discussion and dissent as to whether this should be the ruling in cases like Bloom's, since the sport that he received paid endorsements for was distinctly and clearly separate from the sport that he played at the University of Colorado. It shows that there has been much discussion into this issue because there are those that are very serious about whether this ruling was accurate, and there are two sides to the argument, both of which are dealt with in this research.

From the Paper
"Naturally, this is very important to Jeremy Bloom but there are bigger considerations as well. The ruling that the NCAA has regarding this type of paid endorsement and all of the other rulings that the NCAA has regarding college athletes affect not only Bloom but thousands of individuals that attend college across the United States and play sports as well. Most of these individuals are not affected by this particular ruling because they are not competent in another sport to the point where they are being offered endorsement money for professional things."

From the Paper
"It is important to understand the particulars of the crimes committed before one can properly begin assigning culpability. The University of Alabama has been involved with so many incidents of this nature in the past decade that it would be impractical to visit each one. Alabama is a good model to show the effects of greedy boosters and coaches, because they have an infraction for each category of misconduct under scrutiny. Logan Young of Memphis and two other boosters were involved in several acts of recruiting misconduct involving several Memphis area high school players. (Birmingham1) Young was a wealthy Memphis area booster who prided himself on being a "recruiting junkie", and was in the business of providing the University of Alabama football program with "blue chip" high school athletes.

Abstract
This paper examines how sports play an important role in our society and an even greater role within a college campus, not only as a team-building and positive force in the social life of students, but as a tradition in education. It looks at how most universities and colleges in the United States have an integrated sports program, ranging from the NCAA divisions to intramurals. It also shows how, in universities and colleges within the NCAA divisions, sports programs are just not a sidebar to college entertainment, but host scholarships and contribute to the finances of the college.
From the Paper
"Within the educational institution, students may vary in placing student-athletes on pedestals or in the dog-house depending on their performance, or view them with animosity because of the so-called 'perks' and 'easy breeze through college' it is perceived that student-athletes have. They are considered to be egotistical and elitist because they are unable to fraternize with the rest of the student body, or are subjected to strict NCAA guidelines regarding parties and daily routines during a season, which in some cases could include unusual or abusive routines from their coaches who will "use various means to control their athletes, such as having midnight practices after the team returns from a disappointing loss" (Eitzen)."

»

Abstract
This paper argues that the NCAA has to change the way it operates if it is to maximize the possibility of its student-athletes to achieve their career goals as professional athletes. The paper further argues that trying to combine athletics and academics at this level does not work and serves to lower the standards for both sides of the equation.
From the Paper
"The argument to be made in this paper is that the possibilities of achieving a professional sports career and the benefits once that professional career is achieved on the part of college athletes are not worth the odds of giving up on a college education. At the present time, it seems that the major university sports programs especially in football and basketball are geared to producing professional athletes without much emphasis being placed on the academic side of..."

College Athletes' Grades, 2005.
This paper discusses the failure of colleges to insist upon and help maintain the grades of their athletes.

Abstract
This paper explains that one reason colleges have been unable to handle effectively the problem of athletes with abysmal grades is that star players bring wealthy alums back to campus, along with their checkbooks. The author points out that the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) approved a reform package, particularly for the big money-making sports of football and basketball, which require more stringent eligibility rules for recruiting; once in college, the athletes must graduate within five years, completing 20 percent of the coursework each year, while maintaining at least a 1.8 grade-point average as a freshman, and a 2.0 each year thereafter to be eligible to play. The paper relates that there is a correlation between lower grades (even lower than usual) among college athletes during their sport's season and that academically marginal student athletes respond less successfully to the increased demands of college.

From the Paper
"At least since 1998, high schools in wealth Northern Virginia have tightened academic standards for student athletes and for other students who participate in other extracurricular activities as well. Fairfax County coaches and teachers had begun monitoring student grades. In addition, in Fairfax County, the students cannot comply with the demand for a C average or better by taking only one or two easy classes; "students are required to take five classes and pass five classes in a previous school semester to be eligible to participate in athletics." If a student does drop two letter grades in a subject or his grade-point average drops below 2.0, he is counseled by coaches and offered help."

Steroids in Sports?, 2002.
An ethical evaluation of nutritional supplements to improve the performance of athletes.
2,291 words (approx. 9.2 pages), 10 sources, MLA, $ 70.95

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper examines the issue of performance enhancing drugs in the form of over the counter nutritional supplements. In particular it talks about ephedra, androstenedione (andro) and creatine within the context of the sports world today. It discusses the pharmacology of all three, their health risks and why the NCAA have chosen to legalize or illegalize these three drugs. They are all legal to purchase without a prescription, but ephedra and androstenedione have been banned by a majority of sports governing bodies and creatine has caused more problems than any nutritional aid has ever caused a sport governing body.
From the Paper
"Androstenedione is also known as Andro or the Mark McGuire drug. Shortly after breaking the homerun record, "Big Mac" came out and said that he used the supplement to gain a competitive advantage. Andro gives an athlete this "competitive edge" by working in a way similar to anabolic steroids. It is what is called a pro-hormone. It is part of the final product, testosterone. The supplement is supposed to increase the amount of testosterone in men much the same way as anabolics, but with out going to the extremes of pure anabolic steroids. A person could think of it as light steroids, except for the fact that it doesn't work. It has been proven however to increase the levels of estrogen in the male system. This can cause many steroid like side effects, but without steroid like strength gains (Sports, 2001). "

From the Paper
"Athletic Scholarship programs are funding provided through donations, fundraises, federal government funds and businesses,to allow the existence of college and university athletic programs, which provide pre-professional athletic training and higher education for gifted athletes who are determined to succeed. Providing scholarship programs for colleges gives athletes the experience and knowledge of the dedication that is required to succeed in athletics, which encourages the athlete to perform at his or best when competing for the scholarships. Colleges highest sources of budget increases is encouraged by the talent and the physical abilities of the athletes on the athletic teams, when they break records at winning games Although athletes may be perceived as academically non-competitive, and the majority of the student body and school officials may claim they spend most of their time playing or have unrealistic life goals, but the athletes are the primary reasons why the school gets media attention, and increased budgets to purchase new learning technologies, which provides the necessary funds to invest in advanced and new higher education programs."
