You will research your topic and present material using scholarly journals and professional web-sites with authored material (not popular Internet sites), and books to support your thesis statement. In addition to the textbook, you need at least two additional academic resources. You will need to appropriately cite all sources using APA guidelines along with an abstract and reference page.
The Final Course Project at CMU is designed to develop and further your understanding of critical fundamentals associated with the course learning objectives. Please keep in mind the Learning Objectives of CMU’s written assignments listed in the General Instructions section of this course. Please develop a research paper using the American Psychological Association (APA) format for all portions of the paper. Please review the guidelines in the General Instructions portion of this course. The General format of the Project should be:
TITLE PAGE (page 1 – not counting towards your total pages): Running head with page number; title in the form of a research question that you actually answer; your name, student ID, and date.
YOUR CONTENT (4 pages): In these pages provide background information, present condition, possible solutions, etc. Regardless of your approach, it is useful to include in this section of the paper the purpose of you paper.
REFERENCE (1 page – not counting towards your total pages): In this section, you are to list every reference cited in your paper according to the APA format. Pay particular attention to the required formatting for web pages, and note that the formatting for books differs from journal articles, and that these differ from newspapers, etc.
Final Project Prompt:
Write a minimum of 4-page paper answering the following questions:
Today’s sports reporting is obsessed with scandal and celebrity. What role does that suggest culture plays in the sports communication process? If Babe Ruth were playing today, would he be treated differently in the sports media that he was in the 1920? If so, how would he have been treated differently and why?
How does economics figure into the sport communication process? Given that media outlets are businesses that need to make a profit, how does that influence communication between them and the audience? Between them and the athletes?
Paper must include a title page and references

Final Exam Case Study:
As the Athletic Director (AD) of Other University (OU), you are coming off the last academic
year (2022-2023) with a decent surplus or “profit” – having more revenues than expenses. This
is not a “profit” since OU is a non-profit organization. The surplus last year totaled just over
$25M (see attached spreadsheets). This Fall 2023, the school recently started to see declining
revenues and began to have some tough financial times. The President of OU has asked you, as
the AD, to make some cuts to the athletic department budget – effective immediately.
The President has asked for you to formulate a plan to immediately cut athletic department
expenses by $6 million. Remember, when you cut expenses (for example, cutting a team), keep
in mind that you must also cut any revenues that team might have generated as well. Also, there
are some restrictions or details that you must follow in cutting $6 million from the expenses for
this year. You must be aware and consider the various issues described below:
• The President has asked if any cuts are to be made to teams, OU must remain compliant
with the Equity in Athletics Disclosure Act so the male student-athlete population
percentage (currently at 54%) must not increase beyond the student body population
percentage of 60%. Keep this in mind if you cut teams and if you do cut a team, for
every team that is cut this includes the loss of student athlete participants which will
decrease your percentages. Make sure you have a running total of these numbers and
you continue to calculate the student athlete totals as you drop (or add) teams. If you
cut a team(s) – be sure to reduce all the other related expenses that you are given for
that team: salaries, scholarships, and any revenues that team might have produced.
• OU currently fields 17 teams (10 women and 7 men). To retain its current status as a
Division I institution, OU cannot have less than 14 teams and cannot have fewer than 7
women’s teams. If you do drop to the minimum of 14 teams, the following would be
the allowable combinations (7 women and 7 men) or (8 women and 6 men).
• The President was able to get the Board of Trustees to approve the use of a one-time
student fee of up to $25 per student for the next year. This money would be charged to
each student and would go directly to the athletic department. The language “up to” is
used here b/c you may choose not to institute a fee at all or a fee anywhere from $1 to
$25 per student. Think about the impact for students and also take it into consideration.
• In the last academic year OU had an enrollment of 20,000 students (60% male and 40%
female) with a student athlete population that was 54% male and 46% female. The
President has asked that you also account for the University losing around 2,000 students
next year so enrollment will be around 18,000 students (with the same 60-40%
male/female make-up).
1. Explain, in essay format, what you would do. Please also explain the logic behind your
approach, how you would handle the media, and communicate with the various stakeholders
(students, faculty, employees, fans, etc).
2. Be specific and incorporate ideas from the course that we discussed in relation to these topics,
or other topics related to managerial decision making in collegiate athletics, the Equity in
Athletics Disclosure Act, etc.
3. In either an Excel spreadsheet or a table, show the specific calculations for your $6M cut to
the budget. Be sure to breakdown the numbers that detail the EXACT cuts you will make and
how they total $6M. I should be able to read your response to question #1 and see all of that in
this table/spreadsheet.

Group Project (20%)
During this project you will work in teams and be assigned one of three esports “specialties”: professional esports teams, collegiate esports teams, or production companies. Once assigned, teams will then be tasked with analyzing a small group of current teams or companies within their entity.
(Note: It states group project but its individual project. I was provided collegiate esports team as topic of choice.)
This analysis will investigate
• marketing strategies
• team building techniques
• organization scope
• other relevant aspects of those organizations
Using this analysis, your group will prepare a presentation that describes
• the organizations in detail
• provides best practices for a new “hypothetical” organization using other, real-world organizations.
Analysis and pitches will be presented as a team.
The group presentation will be a collaborative effort and the group will be given 20 minutes to present their topic and 10 minutes for Q&A. The presentation should be well-researched, organized, and engaging. Visual aids such as PowerPoint slides, videos, and images are strongly encouraged. All members of each group will receive the same grade.
The presentation will be graded on the following criteria:
Excellent (Highest) –
21-25 points
Topic: Presentation stays on topic; topic is in line with the prompt and is fully developed.
Application of course concepts/terminology/
subject matter: Accurately utilizes/references multiple course terms/concepts.
Format: Required format is followed and does not contain errors.
Citation: Images, videos, and other outside resources are cited correctly and align with required citation style.

You are expected to follow the program plan as outlined in your textbook and as discussed in class. Be sure all elements of the program plan are included. All information provided needs to be real – that means you will need to conduct research (for example on your target group, other opportunities for the program in the area, needs assessment, etc.).
You will need to develop your program plan based on the information provided from the MRU recreation survey, as well consider the goals outlined in Framework for Recreation in Canada 2015 Pathways to Wellbeing. You are limited only by your imagination regarding the types of activities, formats, experience, age groups, etc. you select. There are no constraints except those you impose by the selections you make as you develop the project. You should demonstrate your ability to implement the steps of the Program Development Cycle included in your text and prepare a comprehensive program plan.
This is to be a professionally written plan. All written material should be well developed, clear, accurate, and concise. This is your opportunity to demonstrate your ability to apply the concepts and techniques covered in class to developing a designed experience, for a specific population, within the context of a given agency. Information should be researched and supported with documentation. There is no minimum number of references needed, rather the plan will be assessed on if enough information was included to provide a clear picture of the content.
