The belief that new facilities bring in better recruits was tested by the research into the subject. Although new facilities did attract more initial interest from recruits (Schneider, 2012) the final decision about which school to attend came down to other different factors. In the study of “The impact of Athletic Faculties on the Recruitment of Student Athletes” college athletic prospects were asked why they choose the college they did. With factors such as playing time, location, tradition, education, facilities, teammates, and school color to name a few, the results were as follows. Non-Scholarship athletes that had no option to receive finical aid from the school they planned on attending, like the ones in division III, had top five factors of 1) playing time, 2) social life, 3) Education, 4) Location and 5) Financial Aid. Not until after the top ten did weight room and locker rooms came into effect. In another study it was shown that scholarship athletes in Division I were motivated by completion and achievement, while in division III the main motivator to play was the “experience” or the social

I believe that the school can be improved by making a skate park. I say this because a lots of people will pay to get in a skate park. And it will keep a lot of kids of the streets. As long as you don’t make them pay too much then you will make a killing. And with a skate park and good skaters, you can make a skate team. If the team wins a competition, the team may win lots of money. So you won’t be losing any money. When you do auditions for the team, people will cram into the school. The people you need are people that aren’t scared of trying something new. If you make a skate park, less kids will be in trouble in school. There are lots of good skaters that can be on your team, and I know a lot of them.

A plethora of reasons exist as to why a certain sport might signal importance to a state, but in Indiana, the sport happens to standout on a whole different level. Current Southeast Dubois Superintendent, Rick Allen, commented on why Indiana high school basketball remains superior saying, “One reason Indiana high school basketball is such a standout of a sport in Indiana is because of the community support behind the team” (Allen 2). The era of basketball between 1911-present remains crucial today not only for the big schools’ gyms in Indiana, but also for small towns gyms such as Huntingburg, Loogootee, Tell City, Ferdinand, and numerous others.

Wood, multi-purpose, and concrete are the three types of court surfaces being experimented on. “All professional and collegiate leagues use hardwood court for their basketball games.” (Lorelie). There’s logic in why they use them. For example, Wood courts got referred to as one of the softest courts. Concrete surfaces got researched too. “These are the most popular types of surfaces for outdoor basketball courts. In fact, nearly all who play basketball starts playing on concrete or asphalt court.” (Lorelie). This shows, they must be popular for their spring, and for being compact and durable. Multi-purpose floor got researched last, because it’s little rarer than the other floorings. They have a

The month of March may be the largest stage for the National Collegiate Athletic Association. The basketball tournament known as “March Madness”, brings in publicity, as well as revenue for the schools. People may ask, “why is this college basketball tournament so popular?” The answer is, it is the student athletes that make it exciting to watch. The athletic director for student services at Kansas State University, Phil Hughes, calls the student athletes “The Entertainment Product” (Varsity Green 13). The nickname may sound rash or rude, however he is right. The student athletes attract the crowds, that lead to sold out arenas. Hughes’ office is in a $1 million facility in the academic learning center at KSU, right next to the $2 million football facility (Varsity Green 14). If it were not for the publicity and revenue from the big-stage events for KSU, there would not be any million dollar facilities for the students and coaches to enjoy.

In addition to increased safety and school pride provided by a custom 360 indoor football surface, our Syngrass field will save your school money over the long

It is almost, or already has, turned into just one big business. Where one college or university is just competing with one another to see who could have the nicer things. Now a days, they are always building new dorms, dining halls, sports facilities, and academic halls. For example, according to Aaron Brenner, Clemson university has reportedly spent 128 million dollars on their sports facilities in the past year. They spent over 60 million ($63.5 million to be exact) on just renovating their basketball arena. Why would they spent that much money on their basketball arena? The simple answer is to make money you have to spend money. University spend money on these type things to simply try and make more money for themselves. The fact is college sports is a big income booster for most colleges. The question that comes up a lot though is, how are the universities paying for these

There are plenty of club sports around where we live. Here there are an abundance of students that have to travel one to two hours to Pueblo just to go to volleyball practice. If we were to bring club sports here students would be able to able to play sports that would only be available to us if we traveled. It could help out the parents by not making them drive us three hours to and from sports practices.Then adding more time on the road to go to games.Also if we spend so much time at practices in other cities then we are more likely to get home to late. Therefore we might get home at mid-night making us lose sleep because we have to do our homework. As a result are grades start to fall. So if we were to bring club sports to Rocky Ford it could help us students in plenty of ways.

Last September, the Southwest Student Government Association started a petition for a new student recreation center, which called for “multi-purpose areas which can be used for the benefit of all students, including a full weight room, group exercise rooms, student lounges, basketball courts, and a food center.”

The need to evaluate the value that is predicted is very important to the community. The proposal will help the Council to take better judgement related to the development of the City of Kelsey. With all the facilities that Stanley Park Project seem to offer shows to be extremely beneficial to the City; from basketball courts, volleyball courts, tennis courts, gymnasium, fitness center increases the predicted value of the Stanley Park Project immensely. A major importance factor to focus on is the air quality and the water treatments and how would the predicted value of the

My plan to support my argument, on why the money should be used towards athletics is the money will be used to create another building on campus which will be considered an Athlete only, Academic building. The building will

By moving the Alpha program to the last two racquet ball courts Lifetime Fitness has everything to gain. It will take the current problems with the program and terminate all of them. It will give the right amount space and the proper equipment for the members and the coaches to excel. Plus, I have seen this work first hand in Japan. This will help bring awareness to the program, which in return will gain the program more members. The downside is that it will take away from the racquet ball players but what you lose there you will gain in revenue from the new and improved Alpha

What makes this building unique is that it houses two full-sized college basketball courts, over forty-five years of turf with a 300-yard track surrounding both the turf and two courts. That is not all, it also provides on the main floor connected to the basketball courts, a full-sized weight room equipped with

The University of Iowa Recreational Center, otherwise known as the Indoor Track, is accessed daily by both university athletes those who have memberships, and University of Iowa students. Division-one athletes train here everyday. One could assume that it would attract more people to buy memberships so that they can train in the same place as elite athletes. Unfortunately, that assumption is wrong. An article on the website of a the local news station KCRG says that the University of Iowa track team is running on one of the worst tracks in the Big Ten Conference (Miller). The current facility does not give the impression that high-level athletes train here. Various kinds of people share the University of Iowa Recreational Facility that will
