Personal philosophy of intercollegiate athletics and proposed reforms: At the conclusion of the course, it is beneficial for each student to reflect on the many issues related to intercollegiate athletics discussed during the course. Based on what you learned, formulate your own philosophy of intercollegiate athletics. What role do you think it plays today? What role should it play? What two or three issues do you think are most pressing in the next five years? Propose reforms or policy recommendations related to these issues. Though there is no page minimum or maximum, approximately 10-12 pages is expected. Though aspects of this paper include your own opinions, claims should be substantiated—and referenced—by course readings and some of your own research findings. Students will be graded holistically on their level of analysis and thoroughness of the discussion (10 points), proposed reforms grounded in the literature (10 points), overall quality of writing/citation (10 points).
