- W1452384687 abstract "Research & Occasional Paper Series: CSHE.12.13 UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, BERKELEY http://cshe.berkeley.edu/ THE MANAGEMENT OF INTERCOLLEGIATE ATHLETICS AT UC BERKELEY: Turning Points and Consequences * November 2013 John Cummins and Kirsten Hextrum UC Berkeley ABSTRACT Copyright 2013 John Cummins and Kirsten Hextrum, all rights reserved. This white paper was prepared at the request of the Advisory Committee to the Athletic Study Center as a result of their concern over poor graduation rates in football as released by the NCAA in 2012. The paper received extensive review by the members of that committee as well as several other knowledgeable faculty and senior administrators before it was forwarded to the University Athletics Board in late May, 2013. It is based on a larger project being conducted with the Regional Oral History Office at the Bancroft Library. The purpose of the research is to explore the history of the management of Intercollegiate Athletics at UC Berkeley from the 1960s to the present. The project began in 2009 and will include, when completed, approximately 70 oral history interviews of individuals who played key roles in the management of intercollegiate athletics over that period of time – Chancellors, Athletic Directors, senior administrators, Faculty Athletic Representatives, other key faculty members, directors of the Recreational Sports Program, alumni/donors, administrators in the Athletic Study Center and others. The interviews were conducted by John Cummins, Associate Chancellor – Chief of Staff, Emeritus who worked under Chancellors Heyman, Tien, Berdahl and Birgeneau from 1984 – 2008. Intercollegiate Athletics reported to him from 2004 – 2006. A publication of the results is underway and will be co-authored by Cummins and Kirsten Hextrum, a PhD student in the Graduate School of Education, a member and two-time national champion of Cal Women’s Crew from 2003 – 2007, and a tutor/adviser in the Athletic Study Center since 2009. This paper addresses administrative and management issues that typically concern those responsible for the conduct of a Division I-A intercollegiate athletics program. It assumes that such a program will continue for many years to come and that it provides important benefits for the Cal community. Its focus is principally with the market driven, multi-billion dollar phenomenon of the big-time sports of Men’s football and basketball, their development over time and their intersection with the academic world. The Olympic or non-revenue sports at UC Berkeley more closely resemble the amateur intercollegiate ideal with high graduation rates and successful programs. Even these sports programs, however, are gradually being pulled into the more highly commercialized model. Keywords: Intercollegiate Athletics, UC Berkeley, Graduation Rates, History of' NCAA, Equity and Inclusion A. INTRODUCTION In November 2012 Athletic Director Sandy Barbour announced that then head football coach, Jeff Tedford, was fired, in part for poor athletic performance (a 3-9 football record) and for poor academic performance (48% graduation rate). The Cal Football program posted one of the lowest graduation rates in the nation, and the lowest in the Pac-12 conference. A few weeks later, Barbour announced the hiring of Daniel “Sonny” Dykes as the new leader of Cal football, charged with the task of improving the team’s performance on the field and in the classroom. These coaching changes also came months before new UC Berkeley Chancellor Nicholas Dirks assumed his post on June 1, 2013. The new athletic and academic leadership signals another opportunity to reflect on and reevaluate the role of intercollegiate athletics at UC Berkeley. This paper offers a historical perspective of athletic governance of UC Berkeley from the 1960s to the present and suggests a new model for integrating intercollegiate athletics into the academic mission of the university. The historical analysis presented demonstrates John Cummins is UC Berkeley Associate Chancellor - Chief of Staff, Emeritus and Kirsten Hextrum, M.A., Graduate Student UC Berkeley Graduate School of Education. This is a version of a White Paper presented to the UC Berkeley Athletic Study Center Advisory Committee in May, 2013. This is an updated version reposted on January 6, 2013." @default.
