    Colorado State University - SAHE

    This literature review delves into the documented social and academic experiences of Black student-athletes competing at the highest level of competition in the most high-profile, revenue-generating sports (most typically defined as football and men’s basketball) for university athletics in the United States.

    This literature review delves into the documented social and academic experiences of Black student-athletes competing at the highest level of competition in the most high-profile, revenue-generating sports (most typically defined as football and men’s basketball) for university athletics in the United States. Black student-athletes as a whole have lower graduation rates than their fellow student-athlete peers, and social commentators and researchers have suggested that they are widely and uniquely exploited by the institution of collegiate athletics. Issues such as “dumb jock” and “dumb negro” stereotype threats, inequitable social treatment by peers and professors, insufficient academic support for athletes, the imposed social isolation of athletes on campus, and the roles of institution type and student identity development are discussed in how they affect the experiences of Black male student-athletes in college, specifically those participating in revenue-generating, high-profile sports. Likewise, the dual nature of the identity of student-athlete is analyzed, and the various hardships and social stigma faced by these competitive males in football and basketball on college campuses are explored in depth.
