An honest man? : a study on the reign of Dick Schultz as the executive director of the National Collegiate Athletic Association : [an honors thesis (HONRS 499)]

Abstract

The following is an in-depth study of Dick Schultz's tenure as the Executive Director of the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA). Several areas will be discussed, including the reforms that Schultz encouraged, the major legal battles in which the organization was involved during his reign, and the scandals to which he was possibly linked prior to his resignation from his post. This study attempts to lend insight into the leadership of a very important figure in the history of the NCAA and the welfare of the modern collegiate student-athlete.
