Book Description
This study will examine the statistical effects of varsity athletics on Naval Academy Midshipman performance. Academic performance averages, military performance averages, conduct grade, and honor violation are analyzed with respect to Midshipmen participating in varsity athletics versus non-varsity athletics. Using hierarchical regression analysis, the expectation is that varsity athletes make up the upper-echelon of the Brigade of Midshipmen than non-varsity athletes. In the analysis however, no statistical significance is discovered with respect to varsity athletics, and that, consequently, varsity athletes perform to the same degree as non-varsity athletes. The results further outline the need for better prediction measures of Midshipman Performance.

Book Description
This research analyzes the impact of the United States Naval Academy's club sport and varsity athletic programs on midshipman academic and military performance. Linear%ear regression models are developed for the Naval Academy classes of 1998 and 1999 to analyze the effect of explanatory variables on midshipmen Academic Quality Point Rating (AQPR) and Military Quality Point Rating (MQPR). It is important to understand the relationship between athletic programs and academic and military performance so that the Academy leadership can objectively evaluate and maximize positive effects these programs have on preparing midshipmen to assume the responsibilities that await them upon graduation. The study concludes that sufficient evidence exists to suggest that the United States Naval Academy should continue to foster strong varsity and club sport athletic programs. Beyond the officer-like qualities that are directly taught on the athletic field, significant participation in these programs does enhance the military performance of midshipman. Specifically, MQPR was positively affected when a student-athlete won a letter in either a varsity or club sport. There is also some evidence to suggest that performance in the classroom may benefit as well, but it is not as convincing as in the case of military performance. Specifically, when all valid AQPRs are used in the analysis, AQPR was positively affected when a student-athlete won a letter in eider a varsity or club sport. When only graduates were used, however, the significance levels of the coefficients were not above the threshold, and no conclusion could be made reading the effect of letter winning AQPR.

Book Description
The mission of the United States Naval Academy speaks clearly of three pillars of midshipman development: moral, mental, and physical. Each is equally important; however, the mission of the Naval Academy to develop midshipmen physically is often overlooked. This thesis investigates the advantages and disadvantages of the varsity sports programs of the Naval Academy to provide more accurate and detailed information to policy makers regarding the importance of athletics. Specifically, this study analyzes the role of achievement in varsity athletics on fleet performance. Using data on the Naval Academy classes of 1981-1985, six multivariate models are specified. The first analyzes variables identified in previous studies as being significant in explaining performance or promotion, and is used as a baseline for the remaining models. The second model analyzes the overall effect of athletic achievement on promotion. The next model analyzes the differential effects of achievement in a team sport versus an individual sport versus no sport at all. The effects of being a female athlete and minority athlete are then identified, followed by an analysis of blue-chip athletes. The results find that four of the variables indicating athletic achievement have positive and significant effects on promotion to LCDR. Being a Blue-chip team athlete increased the probability of promotion 18.9 percent, being a Team athlete increased the probability of promotion 11.4 percent, being a Varsity athlete increased the probability of promotion 7.7 percent, and being a Blue-chip non-athlete increased the probability of promotion 6.4 percent.

Book Description
This study examines the relationship of parental divorce to the performance of Naval Academy Midshipman. Parental Status was determined by the ACE survey, which is completed in the plebe year. Parent Status of midshipmen is merged with Institutional Research Data to determine effects of parental divorce on midshipmen performance. For the purposes of the study, numerous aspects of performance are measured: (1) academic grade point average, (2) military grade point average, (3) conduct, (4) attrition rates, (5) participation in varsity athletics, and (6) leadership responsibilities. The common expectation is that midshipmen from divorced families will perform lower than midshipmen from intact families. Lower performance was noted in academic and military grade point averages, attrition, and participation in varsity athletics among midshipmen from divorced families. No significant difference in performance was noted in conduct or leadership responsibilities.

Book Description
Triumphant wins, gut-wrenching losses, last-second shots, underdogs, competition, and loyalty—it’s fun to be a fan. But when a football player takes a hit to the head after yet another study has warned of the dangers of CTE, or when a team whose mascot was born in an era of racism and bigotry takes the field, or when a relief pitcher accused of domestic violence saves the game, how is one to cheer? Welcome to the club for sports fans who care too much. In Loving Sports When They Don’t Love You Back, acclaimed sports writers Jessica Luther and Kavitha A. Davidson tackle the most pressing issues in sports, why they matter, and how we can do better. For the authors, “sticking to sports” is not an option—not when our taxes are paying for the stadiums, and college athletes aren’t getting paid at all. But simply quitting a favorite team won’t change corrupt and deplorable practices, and the root causes of many of these problems are endemic in our wider society. An essential read for modern fans, Loving Sports When They Don’t Love You Back challenges the status quo and explores how we might begin to reconcile our conscience with our fandom.
