Study Examines Ethics and College Sports

The Marist College Center for Sports Communication and the Marist Poll released their 2013 study on college sports, the second year for this study on ethical issues in intercollegiate athletics.

The scientific national poll of 754 sports fans revealed few (21%) supported paying college athletes while nearly half (48%) think top college coaches should be paid as much or more than their professional counterparts. Additional results found sports fans overwhelmingly (95%) want college athletes to attend class and largely believe (67%) college athletics departments regularly break NCAA rules. Respondents also appeared satisfied with the current size of the NCAA men’s basketball tournament and largely hold athletes responsible for their transgression, not coaches or college presidents.

Further analysis can be found in the research section of the Center's web page and the Center's YouTube channel. Full poll results are found at the Marist Poll.
