“…Indirectly, city and state identity accounted for 60 percent of the variance explained through team identity. This high impact of university identity on team identity has been well documented in the literature (see Brooker and Klastorin 1981;Covell and Barr 2001). Previous findings, coupled with our results, provide an explanation of the loyalty that many of these college football programs experience among their fan base.…”

“…More recently, Trail et al (2003) maintained that both the community and the university are possible points of attachment in the formation of team identity. Research has emphasized the strong partnership between the university and college athletics (Covell and Barr 2001). Covell and Barr (2001) have noted that while the football team is a formal subsystem of the university's athletic department, it is also part of the larger university structure.…”

Covell and Barr (2001) have noted that while the football team is a formal subsystem of the university's athletic department, it is also part of the larger university structure. The level of influence might vary based on the ability of the college football team to be representative of the university and might also be contingent on the success of the team.…”

Brand community research has gained prominence over the past decade due to the increasing complexities of modern business and the goal of remaining profitable. As a result, "more and more companies are attempting to build deep, meaningful, long-term relationships with their customers" (Bhattacharya and Sen 2003, p. 76). In an effort to foster such relationships, researchers have proposed a communal approach to consumption (Cova and Pace 2006). A classic example of this community-based consumption is the subculture formed by Harley-Davidson devotees (Schouten and McAlexander 1995). Schouten and McAlexander (1995) were drawn to the thought that a single product (i.e., the Harley-Davidson motorcycle) defined a distinctive, homogeneous, and enduring subculture. The behavior of consumers driven by similar passions to form a group has come to the forefront as an object of study with relevance for marketing researchers (Cova and Pace 2006). The study of brand communities has revealed (in the aggregate) that these specialized subcultures enable an organization to better communicate, establish, and foster rich consumer relationships. Moreover, such relationships have been found to significantly and positively affect consumer behavior (e.g., Carlson, Suter, and Brown 2008;Homburg, Wieseke, and Hoyer 2009).From a sociological perspective, considerable progress has been made in examining both the existence and characteristics of brand communities (Luedicke 2006;Moore and Mazvancheryl 1996;Muniz and O'Guinn 2001;Schouten and McAlexander 1995) and the psychological connections consumers develop with these communities (Algesheimer, Dholakia, and Herrmann 2005;Carlson, Suter, and Brown 2008;McAlexander, Schouten, and Koenig 2002). Currently, however, the relationship between the brand community and the consumer has been examined as if it existed in a vacuum, unaffected by the identity process a consumer has with other communities. Little attention has been paid to the way in which consumers identify with other communities or how this process influences the way they identify with the focal brand community. This comes as a bit of a surprise since identification with other communities (e.g., religion or nation) should be assumed to influence brand perceptions and subsequently the decisional processes required to become part of a brand community.The purpose of this study was to measure consumer identification with several (brand) communities using a multidimensional psychometric community identity instrument grounded in social identity theory. Use of such instrumentation allowed the authors to examine how consumer identification with associated communities affected identification with the brand community. Data were collected on four different community identities (college football team, university, city, state) among students at the three major Florida universities. Results indicated that identification with the respective teams was affected by identification with other communities surrounding the team. This interplay among communit...

“…From its inception in 1905, the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) has adopted thousands of rules and regulations to protect the student-athletes and prevent unethical advantages (Covell & Barr, 2001). Many of the initial rules focused on consistency in eligibility across institutions.…”

“…Many of the initial rules focused on consistency in eligibility across institutions. In the late 1970s and early 1980s, there was a call for reform to increase the academic performance of athletes (Covell & Barr, 2001). Perhaps the most noted changes occurred after abysmal athlete graduation rates (less than 50% in football) were publicized in the early 1980s (Heck & Takahashi, 2006).…”

Identifying what job characteristics influence employee satisfaction requires the ability to effectively study the environment that influences the sense of belonging and a fulfillment of social needs. The primary purpose of this study was to investigate aspects of employment that influence job satisfaction of NCAA Division II compliance officers. Job satisfaction was measured by the Job Satisfaction Survey (JSS), which consisted of nine subscale measures that relate to employee job satisfaction and strongly examines perceptual and attitudinal variables (Spector, 1997). Participants for this study consisted of 206 NCAA Division II compliance officers. Descriptive analysis was conducted to determine to what degree NCAA Division II compliance officers express their job satisfaction. Results suggested that supervision, co-workers, and nature of work were the three highest-ranking measures of job satisfaction. The compliance officers appeared satisfied when given autonomy over their job, played a greater role in organizing the environment of intercollegiate athletics and had productive work relationships with athletic staff.

The intersection of athletics and academics is legitimized through eligibility rules, which provide standards that bind commercial athletics to the educational purposes of higher education. To compete in intercollegiate athletics, freshman student athletes must meet the initial academic eligibility criteria set by the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) membership. Proposition 48 crystallized many of the calls for reform regarding inadequate academic standards in the public and postsecondary institutions that occurred during the early 1980s. In this article, the authors propose and test a time series structural equation model to investigate Proposition 48's impact on raising Division IA freshman student athletes' graduation rates in football and its impact in changing football programs' recruiting practices regarding freshman and junior college student athletes.
