College Sports

/in /by

I need 3 Sources cited in the writing in APA format. Be sure to utilize the Knight Commission

Directions:

The relationship between a university and its athletic department is essential, yet it often seems to be an uneasy alliance. No matter how well-regarded a college or university is academically, it is often the athletic teams that bring it its notoriety, both good and bad. Over time, the rise in popularity of college athletics has made sporting events a big business, with millions if not billions of dollars at stake in the form of sponsorships, media deals, salaries, bonuses, and more. This lure of fortunes to be made has resulted in temptations that are sometimes too difficult to resist, and, hence, ethical dilemmas are rampant in college sports.

As a result of several highly publicized scandals in the 1980s, The Knight Commission on Intercollegiate Athletics was formed in 1989 to recommend a reform agenda that emphasized academic values in an arena where commercialization of college sports often overshadowed the underlying goals of higher education. The Knight Commissions groundbreaking 1991, Keeping the Faith with the Student-Athlete: A New Model for Intercollegiate Athletics, indicated that college sports are often on a separate mission from their respective universities. They contended that this dual mission is difficult and damaging to the universities to sustain.

Yet, college athletics continue to grow, and continue to contribute to increased costs in terms of new facilities, uniforms, publicity, and other considerations. Given these contradictions, do you agree or disagree with the Knight Commission that college sport in its present state is unsustainable? Discussion 2 focuses on this question through an ethics lens.

According to the Knight Commission (and many college presidents), College sports in its present state is unsustainable in the future. Do you agree or disagree, and why?

For your post, consider the following:

Should college sports continue to exist?
What, if any, are the ethical considerations associated with this question?
Note the quotes mention of college sports in its present state.
Explain your perception of what Knight Commission means by in its present state. Explain whether you agree or disagree with the Knight Commissions statement, and why. Relate your answer to ethical issues you have examined in this course.

Research and Analysis of a Building

/in /by

the skills to approach a broad range of structures and assess them with some degree of knowledge about the history of architecture and the culture in which they were made.  This paper is an opportunity to show some of what you have learned in an analysis of a work of architecture.

Your task is to choose any building dating from 1400 to the present (if you are uncertain, please ask Prof. Thomas or a TA).  It may not be a building that we have looked at in class.  You may use a building you have visited in person, one you find in books, or one you find online (in addition to your textbook a good search option is Google art and culture https://www.google.com/culturalinstitute/beta/ (Links to an external site.)).  A good tip if you are uncertain which building to choose is to search for other buildings by an architect that you enjoyed studying in class.

Once you have selected your building, do the same sort of exhaustive visual examination as you did for the first paper(Write down everything you notice: its form, that materials used in its construction, the use of ornament and color, the place it occupies, the space(s) inside it, and its general form (no need to have measurements, just talk about these latter qualities in general terms).  But then take the next step, and analyze it historically.  How does it reflect the values of its culture?  How does it relate to works we have studied in class?  Does it have particular political, economic, structural, or religious significance?  Use the information provided on trustworthy web sites, and turn to JSTOR and Grove Art Online (both accessible through the library website) to find out more. Also, feel free to return to your class notes and textbook to deepen your historical analysis.  Do not copy online texts in your final paper.  You must synthesize what you read in your own words.

Your paper should be 3-4 pages in length and include an image of the building you examine (the image should be added at the end, and does not count as part of your papers length).
