This case study is about decisions that are made by coaches and parents before and during college attendance while participating in college athletics. The agreements made at the moment of offering a scholarship to a freshman and her family to leave high school realm and face higher level of education and expectations in college athletics in the sport of soccer. Since the 1999 Soccer World Cup in the United States, this sport has gained many followers and universities have invested in the sport as a means to meet the demand and to balance their athletics compliance with Title IX as this sport carries a higher number of female participants in its rosters and help the balance of schools with football tradition.
Unlike basketball and volleyball, soccer is a sport that offers athletic scholarship in the ratio of percentages. Any freshman can be awarded from 10% to 100% depending on the potential and financial health of the soccer program beyond the coach’s decision on investing on the athlete. Our area under discussion is about a female student-athlete (sa) who accepted a soccer scholarship of almost 50% of tuition and fees from a small NCAA division I school and does not deliver academic and athletic performance at the level of her award on her first year. She faces family financial problems and homesickness in the process. Her father wants more scholarship to help his financial trouble and does not seems to understand the deficit in his daughter’s journey requesting to the coach a break on her standards to fulfill his struggle with sending his daughter back to college in the sophomore year.
Hitler's Germany, or from here on out referred to as 'The Third Reich', is a course that will familiarize the student with key themes in the current historical literature involving the subject. The course breaks down to several weeks of discussion held on the main page and a paper that each student will complete on a topic of their choosing, which will then be critiqued by the class for its merit and historical content. The student taking this class will hopefully walk away with a greater understanding of the time and exposure to an active academic environment that requires scholarly research. The instructor has taken a class exactly on this subject and will attempt to mold many of those ideas into this class, so students will be prepared to take on university level material should the opportunity arise. It should be noted that subject material in this class will be of a frank and sometimes grotesque manner, so if the student is not capable of maintaining a professional demeanor and historical objectivism, it is suggested that they not sign up for this class. This is intended to be roughly a '300' or '3rd year' or 'junior' level college class.
