The University of Michigan at Ann Arbor, which is only 45 minutes from Detroit, is a public higher learning institution that was founded in 1817. The University of Michigan is considered to be one of the best colleges in the country.

The institutional level is not just about the influence of schools; it also looks at the availability of facilities and the structure of organised sport within a community. The rules of different sports are also considered as part of an analysis of the institutional level. Sporting rules, which are determined and standardised by sports’ governing organisations, can restrict access to certain groups and individuals.

In our society, sport carries an important role because it could bring so many positive impacts on human such as development of teamwork, communication skills and create opportunity for entertainment as well as many businesses around the world. However, looking at the negative side, sport can cost a huge amount of money and it could create significant negative effects on education, specifically universities in various ways. According to USA Today News, the author

Contests in skill, strength and speed have occupied an important place in every culture throughout the ages. The meaning of the term sport and the effect that sport has on society is always changing. Sports have especially changed in the last two decades and can certainly be evidence by the growing number of labor disputes and court cases involving all sports.

Sport is an ever growing aspect of our cultures, and as the access to different avenues of sport begin to present themselves we question the ability of sport organizations to expand globally. This review of literature will examine different avenues of sport and the research that has been done in regards to their effort to expand on a global scale.

How sport is presented and supported today can mean total success or deep failure tomorrow. Every year the government of Canada provides money for athletics through three programs all of which add up to around $256 million, but that is only going towards the athletes, not even the facilities. The average cost to build a new professional facility is $6 billion, and to build a simple recreational center it costs $5.7 million. Contractors and businessmen set budgets before building anything new but the budgets always rise; regions get no economic boost from spending money on tickets and building projects and spectators are becoming uninterested in watching live games. The government should not use taxpayer dollars to support athletes and build

Over the years, the discussion of funding for sports according to sexuality has been confronted. Should men receive more because they are dominate in sports? Should funding be equal? These are both logical questions to be asked.

A Sports Management Degree offers a wide array of job opportunities and possibilities. Sports management careers are popular due to the passion many people have for athletics and it allows non-athletes to work within the sport field. One aspect to note is that there are 3 main segments within this field. These include; sports performance, production, and promotion. Each offer unique opportunities in the athletics field. A performance career would be a Recreation Worker, a production career would be an University Athletic Director (A.D.), and a promotion career would be a Sports Event Planner. Ultimately, after analyzing all 3 sectors, the production segment distinguishes itself in terms of size and scope, growth trends, and it allows the non-athlete the most opportunity to direct and guide University athletics.

Sport Equity is about fairness; creating equality of access by recognising inequalities and acting to address them. It is about changing the culture and structures of sport to ensure that it becomes equally accessible to all members of society, whatever their age, ability, gender, race, ethnicity, sexuality, or social economic status (Lancashire Sport, 2017). Action plans to address sport equity and access matters are often linked to Figueroa’s framework (Amezdroz, G., Dickens, S., Hosford, G., Stewart, T., Davis, D., 2010). Figueroa’s Framework was a tool developed by Professor Peter Figueroa to investigate the issues surrounding access, equity and equality in sport and physical activity (Amezdroz, G., Dickens, S., Hosford, G., Stewart, T.,

Competitive children sports used to be community sports like Little League and AYSO with fun practices and trips to the snack shack, but now they have been taken over by competitive club sports, private lessons and far away tournaments. In the past 5 years the kids sports industry has increased from a 5 billion dollar industry to a 15 billion dollar industry. Many people think that the growth of children’s sports is benefiting their child for their future, but I believe that children should not play competitive club sports because of time loss, cost, and children being forced to play a single sport. Competitive sports take time away time from family, friends, community activities, and school.

Sport development is the promotion of sports activities for the community. Successful sports development depends largely on effective partnership and networking with a wide range of community groups, service providers, facility operators, National Governing bodies, local authorities and voluntary groups.Fundamentally sport development is about participation and promoting the opportunities and benefits of participation. Participation in sport and physical activity spans a wide range of contexts.Those engaging in sport development must be in the business of devising better and more effective ways of promoting interest and participation or performance in sport. Sport development is a questionable and challenged term, particularly as the accurate importance and utilization of 'sport improvement ' can 't be assumed, as various arrangement and expert settings have incrementally procured remarkable quality and implications that can 't be disregarded. Sports development services encourage and deliver an extensive range of high quality programmes and initatives designed to succeed in a long term and sustainable increase in sport and physical activity. This is achieved through using the local delivery system for sport and physical activity working with a network of strong and effective key partners at a national, regional and local level. The success is underpinned throught a range of development approaches and principles. Similarly,

Third world countries also should try to improve their sporting activities. This can be done through their governments giving support to the sporting activities. The developed nations also should give financial support to improve the sporting activities. Through financial support, sporting activities can be taken to higher standards in the whole world (Richard,

According to Up2Us, a New York-based nonprofit that promotes youth sports, from 2010-2011 more than $3.5 billion in athletic funding was cut. This has been the case across America impacting athletics from youth sports all the way up to high school and college level athletics. To have more money for school funding, schools are using athletics as a scapegoat to have enough money to fund school based activities (“Baker”). Lack of funding, due to the recession’s budget cuts, for high school athletics is ultimately hindering sports teams potential, but with more efficient fundraising, better implementation of Title IV, and more athletic facility fundraising groups, a solution could be reached.
