Lawrence, Heather J.; Mullin, Christopher M.; Horton, David, Jr.
New Directions for Community Colleges, n147 p39-51 Fall 2009
Collegiate athletic programs have often been referred to as the "front porch" of an institution. Coaches, athletic teams, student athletes, and athletic department staff serve as a "link between the immediate campus family and the larger community. It is this front-porch principle that makes managing intercollegiate athletics a unique and challenging endeavor. This article gives community college leaders and decision makers a road map for handling situations regarding expansion, elimination, or continued maintenance of athletic teams and programs at their institution.
