Are female coaches held to a higher standard of athletics compliance? The theory of planned behavior and NCAA Division I (FBS) major recruiting infractions

In this study, NCAA Division I (FBS) recruiting violations were collected from the NCAA Legislative Services Database for the Internet (LSDBi) and analyzed based upon the type of sport, the gender of the student-athletes participating in the sport, and the gender of the head coach from 1987-2007. The theory of planned behavior (Ajzen, 1991) was used to guide the findings that major recruiting violations are more prevalent among male coaches within revenue sports, which may lead to a higher standard of athletics compliance for female sports and coaches. 2011 Nova Science Publishers, Inc.
