Exploring NCAA Division I Athletic Administrator Perceptions of Male and Female
​
This study employed the concept of hegemonic masculinity as an interpretive framework to explore NCAA Division I athletic administrator perceptions regarding the professional accomplishments of male and female athletic directors. Using photo elicitation methodology, athletic administrators (e.g., athletic directors, academic advisors/counselors for athletes, and coaches) responded to a photograph of and vignette about either a male or female athletic director. This study found that while some athletic administrators were supportive of the achievements of both male and female athletic directors, some subscribed to hegemonic masculinity, gendered stereotypes, and homologous reproduction. These findings have implications for stakeholders in the affairs of athletics who are committed to creating more equitable athletic environments.

This study builds upon Lumpkin and Williams landmark investigation to examine the covers of Sports Illustrated magazine from 1987-209 and also the more recently launched ESPN The Magazine from 1998-2009 to gauge the amount and types of coverage afforded men and women on the covers of these sporting periodicals. Results indicate numerical representations of female athletes are declining on the cover of each magazine. Sports Illustrated continues to promote women in more passive poses than men on the cover, while ESPN the Magazine tends to features both in passive depictions. The significance of these results are theorized and discussed further.
