Abstract

Abstract Competitive pressures can dilute the denominational identity of religiously affiliated colleges as colleges shed denominational bonds in pursuit of academic prestige. We ask: What is the relationship between denominational identity and athletic success at contemporary Christian colleges? To answer, we combine data from the Council for Christian Colleges and Universities (CCCU) Denominational Study, Learfield Directors’ Cup, and U.S. Department of Education. Controlling for school size and athletic division, denominational identity was not significantly related to athletic success. Rather, larger CCCU schools have stronger sports, regardless of athletic division. We discuss implications and suggestions for further research.

教派认同与基督教大学体育成功

摘要竞争压力会稀释宗教附属大学的教派身份，因为大学为了追求学术声望而摆脱教派纽带。我们问：在当代基督教大学，教派身份和运动成功之间有什么关系？为了回答这个问题，我们结合了基督教学院和大学理事会（CCCU）教派研究、利尔菲尔德董事杯和美国教育部的数据。在控制学校规模和运动分区的情况下，教派身份与运动成绩没有显著关系。相反，无论体育部门如何，规模较大的CCCU学校都有更强的体育项目。我们讨论了对进一步研究的启示和建议。
