According to the Council for Aid to Education (2003) alumni contributed 25 percent towards higher education in 2002, followed by non-alumni at 23 percent. Non-alumni are a viable force in support of college athletics, yet the predominance of donor research has targeted alumni donors, with very little consideration paid to non-alumni. This investigation determined the demographic and alumnus affiliation characteristics and compared the motives by gender and alumnus affiliation. The Institutional Athletics Donor Questionnaire consisted of an affiliation section, a motivation section, and a demographic section. The 22 motivation constructs were adopted from Staurowsky's (1994) ACQUIRE-II instrument and factored into six groups: Benefits, Power, Philanthropic, Social, Success1, and Success2. A sample of 1,100 booster club members from two Division I-A universities resulted in 410 usable surveys. A criterion for alumnus status was having earned a degree at the university from which they donated.

The purpose of this study was to determine whether there are differences in donor constraints from former student-athletes at multiple NCAA institutions. The Former Student Athlete Donor Constraint Scale (FSADCS) was distributed to 5330 athletic alumni non-donors at four institutions, each representing a different NCAA classification. There were 231 usable responses creating a 4.3% response rate. MANOVA and correlation tests were utilized to investigate whether significant relationships exist for the following five questions: 1) Which donor constraints are greatest at each NCAA classification? 2) Is there an effect on donor constraint by participation in a specific sport? 3) Which donor constraints are most prevalent to male and female former student-athletes? 4) Which donor constraints are most prevalent with former student-athletes who reside in a different state? 5) Is there a relationship between donor constraints and household income? Significant differences in donor constraint responses were discovered when comparing NCAA classification as well as sport. These results contribute to the need for further research on former student-athlete donor constraints, and will also assist athletic development officers with their efforts to solicit additional revenue through donations from former student-athletes.

Previously published as part of HIGHER EDUCATION? A quarter of a million dollars. It's the going tab for four years at most top-tier colleges. But is it worth it? In this provocative work, the renowned sociologist Andrew Hacker and New York Times writer Claudia Dreifus make an incisive case that American college athletics—which originally came into the campus as an innocent form of recreation—have overtaken academic pursuits, compromised the moral authority of educators, and gobbled up resources that should have gone to their basic missions. In other words, that the American way of higher education—now a $420 billion-per-year business—has lost sight of its primary mission: the education of our young people.
