College Athletes: A Case Study

Mr.Roller told me that he shared the files of all the audition recording with you (I recorded my audition with him), I think I'm file

Student athletes at division I schools, where an immense amount of revenue is generated at games and events, are not being paid for their work. This is immoral because the NCAA uses the athlete’s likeness and then the athletes get no direct (monetary) compensation. We should approach evaluating the morality of student athletes using the normative theory of Utilitarianism that supports the claim that student athletes are exploited in their work and on the other hand, Kant Ethics that claims the results of the athletes do not matter, because consequences do not matter.

The Florida Gators currently sit atop the SEC football recruiting rankings for the 2018 cycle (per 247sports.com). Unlike previous classes, the offensive side of the ball dominates this commitment lists. Five of the six Top200 players committed in the class are offensive players, highlighted by Matt Corral, Jacob Copeland, and Jamarr Chase.

Over the past five years, there has been a movement by groups of college athletes to be paid additional money besides the scholarships they receive. National Collegiate Athletic Association’s (NCAA) mens football and basketball are huge revenue makers with some conferences owning their own television neworks. College coaches salaries have also skyrocketed to an average of $1.75 million a year. (Klevorn, 2015) The movement is for student-athletes to start to earn there share of the pie. The NCAA’s contractual language only allows schools to provide student-athletes with scholarships while limiting the athletes’ earnings. The model is based on the belief that student-atheletes are not professionals, but only amateurs. Student-Athletes have been known to

Throughout the world of sports, it is very common for athletes to get injured or bruised up. A lot of the injuries that athletes suffer from often require surgery and intense rehab. Many kids are stuck with paying the medical bill and have no insurance to cover it. The worst part about all of this is that most college coaches end up taking away the player's scholarship because of an injury. The NCAA has its own catastrophic injury insurance, which insures individual athletes up to $20 million. But the majority don’t qualify. This example just shows that most athletes don’t have enough money to get insurance which would help them with their injury. As a result for the players not having insurance, the coaches will end up taking away their scholarship.

"Be a sport," young people are admonished. "Play fair." "Play by the rules." Everywhere in the developed world, sports are raised high up on social pedestals as redeeming activities that characterize the best of the human spirit, fair competition, and physical achievement. Society welcomes athleticism due largely to anticipation of the wholesome and upstanding values with which it is associated. Character is said to be built through participation in sports. While certainly there are elements of these high expectations and standards for athletes, there too has been a steady erosion of these traditional foundations and nowhere is this more evident than in collegiate sports. Intercollege sports are big business, and those associated with it take a very business-like attitude toward the games (Eitzen & Sage, 1978). The driver in intercollegiate sports is competition, just as it is in business (Eitzen & Sage, 1978). And, as in business, unfair advantage is translated into competitive edge. Responsibility morphs into power. In such an environment, the notion of cheating becomes blurred (Eitzen & Sage, 1978). Recruitment of college athletes commonly means looking the other way when rules are broken. Athletes are paid under the table, and are admitted according to a separate set of rules than those

While all dance majors and minors are required to audition for Afterimages, choreographing is not required, rather than just optional.

On October 25th a message was sent to the Varsity Football Team regarding the necessity to retake their team photos and it was scheduled for October 30th. My sons asked if I could attend so I could take some extra pictures for them, especially since this was Alexander's last year with the high school. I was both crestfallen and enraged yesterday when only thirteen players, including my two, and one manager who showed up for the picture. None of the coaches were present for the picture either! I have enclosed both a copy of the picture as well as the initial request for pictures at the bottom of this email for your review.

Choosing a new coach is one of the toughest jobs for a college athletic director, especially when hiring a coach for a program that is a consistent winner. He or she must try to hire a coach who they feel can continue the success that the program has had, while also being a good fit for the department and the school. It would do no good to hire a coach you know will win but will butt heads with administration as well as alienate the fans and will not have the respect of the players. The athletic director must sit down and set out the criteria that they want in a new coach and for a search committee that will help him or her to select a new coach. Having a search committee will allow the athletic director to have several different set of

I was casted in all four of my all-school plays at Bridgeport High School in Bridgeport, WV, as well as the senior play. In addition to theater, I have also danced alongside the Alchemy Project since the age of thirteen, have taken dance class from the Artistic Director Angela Dennis, and contemplated auditioning for the company in the past. I plan to audition for the Alchemy and possibly the Performer's Guild of Morgantown in the future after my undergrad if I still reside in WV, and would love to work alongside the company in the near future. Many of the upcoming events are also within the vicinity of my hometown of Bridgeport, WV, which makes me very comfortable of possibly having to travel to surrounding areas for events. I also appreciate the supervisor, Vickie Tricketts, expressed flexibility as I am on the WVU Dance Team and have a fairly busy schedule during the Spring and WVU Basketball Season. I have a feeling that she will be most understanding out of all of the organizations for working with my dance schedule.

Thanks for the reply. I want to ask if there's any prerequisites for auditioning for MU 164, as I have never been learning Jazz formally before. I played classic piano, and loved to listen to and play a bunch of Jazz pieces, but did not really recieve formal trainings. Do you think I should take MUSIC 116A - Jazz Theory and Performance before auditioning for MU 164?

Acting apprentices have the opportunity to audition for these shows and could be working side-by-side with professional equity actors. Apprentices also have a chance to perform in the many Cabaret style shows performed throughout the season and can earn weeks towards Equity cards. To apply in person, you can audition at the North Central Regional Auditions held at the California University of Pennsylvania in January. However, since that could be a bit of a travel, there is also the option of applying online. This would consist of submitting all the audition materials and then recording an audition of two contrasting songs and two contrasting monologues. Apprentices do have to pay for their own housing, but a weekly scholarship of $175 is given to help cover expenses.

The audition process works like this: you fill out an application form for whichever company you are auditioning for and you send in the application form to them. The company then decides if they want to give you an audition and will assign you an audition date and time. You show up at the audition venue prior to your time and check in with the assistant who has a list of names and audition times. Audition venues can either be located at the opera houses themselves or in the music schools of universities designated by the company. You usually sing in a rehearsal room with a piano on one side and a table with chairs on the other side where
