After making several reviews over my research question, my initial plan for my research project has deviated. That being said, I also plan for it to adapt again as I dig further into the NCAA and the recent NIL bill. Before, my research questions addressed recruitment violations, and the difference NIL makes with respect to some specific violations. However, I… Read more »
I have largely changed my course over the last couple of weeks – I initially began asking questions regarding how athletes as a whole have been negatively effected by Title IX (related too much to my own bias). Upon doing some more in-depth research, I have discovered that it would be appropriate to ask some more specific questions and slightly… Read more »
My research questions have not changed much since last week. I wish to research mental health and how that impacts performance and being able to find a correlation between mental training and success in athletic competition. To accomplish that, I am looking to Novak Djokovic and how he mentally trains for competition. Because he is one of the greatest tennis… Read more »
The theoretical approach that I will be using to explore and understand the current curricula and policy at medical education centers will be qualitative document analysis. I will be gathering a lot of information from pre-existing curricula and policies from medical education centers like VCU (potentially UVA) to later assess their effectiveness. I think it would be interesting to… Read more »

Ethical questions, in general, are challenging to answer as ethics can be situational and contextual. Ethics are not easily codified and measured. As Digital Ethics is not yet defined in public policy nor… Read more »
As I venture deeper into my research on social media in intercollegiate athletics, I have been honing in on two different methodologies that seem to be prevalent when researching social media in general. There has been very little research done specifically on the collegiate athletics aspect of social media, but these two methodologies would seem to be appropriate for my… Read more »
I have been contemplating on how to develop my research Name, Image, and Likeness interim rule. The rule has only been in place for 3 months, so there is little information to go by at this point other than news articles and other informational tools. An approach I plan on taking is looking deeper into the historical journey the NCAA… Read more »
‘Epistemological Crisis has been with us since Aristotle’ I have been churning on this paraphrase of Dr. Marcia Whitehead’s September 7, 2021 presentation. I initially reflexively rejected what I thought the implication was. In my mind – the Epistemological Crisis is a current phenomenon. My own bias and self-centeredness blinded me to the crisis moments of equal impact in the… Read more »
