“…Participation in campus recreational sports has been linked to increases in sports participation, school retention, health and wellness, and student learning outcomes (Forrester, 2015). The way rugby, a similar nonnormative sport, has developed across college campuses serves as an exemplar and template that the USAFL should seek to emulate.…”

Despite its relative obscureness in the United States, Australian football has graced American airwaves since the 1990s. The outbreak of COVID-19 in the spring of 2020 paved the way for the Australian Football League to be one of the only professional sports leagues broadcasting games live on American television. Although the Australian Football League would later suspend the season, for at least one weekend, Australian football was the most popular sport in the United States. This short essay pulls from news articles, social media posts, and existing literature to explore this unique time in the American sports landscape by investigating the response to Australian football from fans, the response from media outlets, and the future directions of Australian football in the United States. The increase in exposure could help the Australian Football League become the next big spectator sport in the United States as well as help grow the game at a local, grassroots level.

“…The foundation for compliance with the ADA was established early on. The popularity and benefits of campus recreation for a majority of students is well documented and has been sustained for over a century of student participation (Forrester, 2015;Kerr-Downs Research, 2003;NIRSA/NASPA, 2010). But, since the enactment of the ADA, do students with disabilities find campus recreation services as inviting as students without disabilities?…”

On the 25th anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act, it is well known that postsecondary institutions' programs, including campus recreation, must be accessible to people with disabilities. This study critiqued the inclusiveness, and specifically, the welcoming environment of campus recreation programs in the Big Ten by conducting a content analysis of those institutions' websites. Campus recreation programs were targeted because their purpose is to serve the recreational sport needs of all students, faculty, and staff in the campus community. The content analysis used enumerative techniques for determining frequencies as well as qualitative coding techniques of manifest and latent coding. Enumerative results indicated the majority of schools offered minimal programming and equipment for people with disabilities while four themes emerged from the qualitative analysis. The results are discussed along with recommendations for campus recreation programs in creating a welcoming environment and a more inclusive culture for students with disabilities.
