520 $a The purpose of this study was to explore how Black Football players who matriculated at a predominantly white division IAA football institution in the Midwest experienced academic life on campus. I specifically examined the perceptions of Black male football player in areas related to (1) academic aspirations, (2) relationships with support personnel, (3) relationship between athletic participation and academic performance, (4) campus environment, and (5) perceptions of how the athlete's background affects their collegiate academic experiences.
520 $a Qualitative data collection included interviews with 16 football players who were scholarship recipients and were at least in their third semester of attendance at this university. The rationale behind this choice was that students who have matriculated through the university for at least two semesters were acclimated to the university and had significant experiences with regards to the expectations of college student-athletes. Second, scholarship recipients have the added pressure of maintaining a high level of performance on and off the field in order for their scholarship to be renewed. Whereas the majority of studies of Black athletes have focused on their struggles and underachievement, this study examined the supporting factors that resulted in the successful matriculation of Black football players and their experiences in relation to three categories: campus and academic climate, understandings of academic success, and factors influencing academic performance.
520 $a This study presented information regarding the challenges that Black male football players face on a predominantly white campus as well as the support structures needed for them to be successful. By exploring the perceptions of the campus environment through the eyes of the athlete, this study may help colleges and universities to better serve their student-athletes.
