I am conducting exploratory research about the NCAA NIL rule because there is little information on the impact that rule has on smaller D1 programs. I propose using interviews as my method to collect and analyze data in relation to the NIL interim rule. As a researcher, I want to provide participants, student athletes at UR, with a freedom to respond rather than being forced to select from a set of predetermined answers that would be provided in a Likert Scale or survey. I want an atmosphere where they are enabled to express their opinions about the new NIL rule. This approach may mean adopting a less structured approach to the interviews I plan on conducting to obtain qualitative research on the topic. By conducting semi-structured interviews focusing on the pros and cons UR athletes face concerning the NCAA NIL rules, I will gain insight into my research questions: How can student athletes at UR take advantage of the NIL rule? And what implications does it have for other smaller D1 programs around the country? While the interviews will be consistent with the questions and the order they are asked, the researcher will have the ability to probe questions to get a better understanding. When conducting the interviews, they will be recorded in order to aid in data analysis. The digital voice recordings will be transcribed and categorized by similarities and differences in question responses.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
