Managing Tensions in a College Sports Environment Chauveau, Philippe Communication NCAA College basketball paradoxical tensions incentive academics athletics This project explores the realm of college sports through a tensional perspective. Specifically, this paper analyzes the paradoxical tensions present within the term student-athlete in men’s Division I college basketball. As an FBI probe closed in on corruption in prestigious NCAA institutions, the Commission on College Basketball (CCB) was formed to assess the state of men’s Division I college basketball. The CCB created a 53-page report detailing the issues with college basketball and recommendations on how to resolve them. Through a grounded iterative method and the framework provided by Putnam, Fairhurst, & Banghart (2016) on paradoxical tensions in organizations, this study examines the paradoxical tensions related to the term student-athlete in the CCB Report. This paper finds a central tension of incentive-disincentive, and three sub-tensions: academics-athletics, tradition-status quo, and sufficient compensation-insufficient compensation. This study then describes the implications, theoretical and practical, derived from the paradoxical tensions and management strategies found. 2019-11-19 English text University of Cincinnati / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ucin1563273715001516 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ucin1563273715001516 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
