摘要

投资竞技体育是大学为更好地吸引潜在学生而采取的一种方法。我们分析了以胜率衡量的橄榄球成绩是否与申请学生人数的增加相关。我们发现，对于 "五强 "联盟中的主要学校来说，胜率并不会显著改变申请学生的人数。然而，在规模较小的 "五强联盟 "中，胜率与申请人数的增加有关。这是一个特别相关的发现，因为规模较小的大学可能往往在努力维持其学生规模。

The role of football win percentage on college applications for Power Five and Group of Five schools

Investing in athletics is one approach that universities have taken to better appeal to potential students. We analyze whether football success, as measured by win percentage, is correlated with a higher number of student applicants. We find that for schools in the major “Power-Five” conferences, win percentage does not significantly change the number of students who apply. However, in the smaller “Group-of-Five” conferences, win percentage is associated with an increase in the number of applications. This is a particularly relevant finding because smaller universities may often be the ones struggling to maintain the size of their student body.
