“…One reason the NCAA added another division was because of "the increasing difficulty of maintaining a level playing field between smaller-budget schools and those with major athletics programs" (Crowley, 2006). Another reason was the pressure from other college sports organizations (namely the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics) resulted in the creation of another division that might be attractive for schools from other organizations (Katz and Seifried, 2014). Table 1 shows the number of institutions that switched Divisions from 1972 to 1973 8 .…”

This study analyzes how the number of Black coaches in college basketball has evolved since 1947. The analysis puts a focus on the time period after 1973 when regulatory requirements changed and a new Division was established. The change in the number of Divisions created distorted conditions and led to a significant difference in the number of Black coaches within Divisions. We trace a significantly lower number of Black coaches in Division 3 which is still visible 40 years later. The results are time consistent, not clustered geographically, and unrelated to specific institutions. Our results have policy implications for college sports as well as other industries with similar working conditions.

“…Since the NCAA restructured into a three-division model in 1973 (Katz & Seifried, 2014), the impact of the NCAA's "smallest" division has remained overshadowed by academic and commercial studies over the role of big-time college sport (Katz & Clopton, 2014). This is not to say that scholars have entirely overlooked Division III as a research setting, as scholars have produced a wide spectrum of topical studies within the context of Division III athletics.…”

In this longitudinal study, the authors examined the relationship between team identification and university identification for 37 incoming college first year students at a National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Division III institution. After collecting four waves of data from the same participants over the course of two years, the authors utilized growth curve analysis to examine the development and trajectories of the students' levels of identification with both the university and the intercollegiate sport teams. Furthermore, the authors empirically measured if identifying with the athletic teams on campus explained any variance in one's identification with the larger university. Finally, this study was explicitly conducted within the context of a Division III institution to increase understanding of the social value of Division III athletics for students not directly participating as student-athletes. The presented findings provide a longitudinal account of the psychological and social value of Division III sport teams in terms of building a stronger connection between new students and the larger university.
