“…Regarding scale content in general, there seems to be no clear resolution as to whether one should use personal traits or performance dimensions only (Kavanaghl, 1971; Massey, Mullins, & , Earles, 1978). However, when job performance is the target domain to be measured, the only conceptually appropriate content is performance dimensions.…”

Does Athletic Success Influence Persistence at Higher Education Institutions? New Evidence Using Panel Data

This study examines the relationship between athletic success and student persistence toward a degree. We build an updated panel of National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Division I institutions and utilize within‐institution variation to identify the effects of athletic success. Using a ranking of all institutions, we find that having more successful men's basketball and football teams has a significant positive effect on first‐year retention rates. We also find some evidence that improved basketball rankings increase graduation rates, and that success in the NCAA tournament may have a sizable impact on retention. Although the estimated effects are generally modest in scale, we find rather limited evidence of other institutional factors affecting persistence, suggesting that athletics can be one avenue for institutions of higher education to engage and retain students.

Avoiding Bias Due to Nonrandom Scheduling When Modeling Trends in Home-Field Advantage

Existing approaches for estimating home-field advantage (HFA) include modeling the difference between home and away scores as a function of the difference between home and away team ratings that are treated either as fixed or random effects. We uncover an upward bias in the mixed model HFA estimates that is due to the nonrandom structure of the schedule -and thus the random effect design matrix -and explore why the fixed effects model is not subject to the same bias. Intraconference HFAs and standard errors are calculated for each of 3 college sports and 3 professional sports over 18 seasons and then fitted with conference-specific slopes and intercepts to measure the potential linear population trend in HFA.
