dc.description.abstractThe purpose of this study is to examine the relationship between athletic directors from Historically Black Colleges and Universities and how they differ in utilization of resources to foster positive academic outcomes within their athletic departments. The primary goal of this study is to make recommendations for Historically Black Colleges and Universities and the National Collegiate Athletic Association leadership facing similar issues with limited resources and poor academic ratings within their athletic departments. This study sought to answer the following research questions: 1. What is the perception of the utilization of resources at Historically Black College and Universities for Athletic Directors? 2. What are the beliefs and attitudes of Historically Black Colleges and University Athletic Directors Athletic Directors towards academic success? This qualitative analysis was conducted applying within-case and cross-case analyses, as well as with the ATLAS.ti 8 software. From this analysis three themes emerged. First, there are acknowledgements of resource dipartites. Second, influences of Revenue/Funding were a major factor. Third, insufficient financial resources are the primary cause for student-athletes to struggle academically.
