Introduction

1981-82 – 2017-18 NCAA Sports Sponsorship and Participation Rates Report

The NCAA compiled the following statistical information regarding participation in intercollegiate athletics at its member institutions. This information provides a general view of historical trends in participation and sponsorship by gender, sport and division. Much of this information has been collected in detail since the 1981-82 academic year; however, the added teams, dropped teams and net change data are only available since 1988-89. Statistics from the 1956-57 through the 1981-82 academic years are included but are only available at five-year intervals and include recreation programs. Therefore, they are not directly comparable to the statistics for the years that followed.

Organization of the Report. The first section of this report provides separate tables for each year from 1981-82 to 2017-18 illustrating the number of teams, student-athletes and the average squad size by sport and gender for championship sports, selected nonchampionship sports for men and emerging sports for women. The second section focuses on championship sports participation in aggregate by year, division and the NCAA overall. A similar section follows next but focuses on championship sports sponsorship.

The next two sections, one for women's sports and one for men's sports, provide sport-specific tables with historical sponsorship, participation and the percentage of the NCAA membership sponsoring each sport by division and for the NCAA overall. The average number of teams per institution is presented next along with tables comparing the number of teams for each sport by division and for the NCAA overall. Following are data showing the average number of participants per institution and by sport for each division and the NCAA overall. A separate section focusing on average squad size data is also included.

In an effort to control for the fluctuation in NCAA membership, data are presented in this report that illustrate the number of teams added and dropped, by sport, gender and division, for the years 1988-89 through 2017-18. Teams added or dropped due to changes in NCAA membership are not included. Tables also are presented that illustrate the net result of teams being simultaneously added and dropped by year, sport, gender and division.

The final section reports data on sports and recreation programs of universities and colleges from 1956-57 to 1981-82 at five-year intervals. There are separate tables for each sport by gender and an overall table. Changes to the Report. The 1995-96 academic year marked a change in the way participation and sponsorship data were reported. For the first time, provisional members of the NCAA were included in the study along with active members. Provisional members follow NCAA rules and compete against other NCAA member institutions, but do not have voting privileges. All of the participation and sponsorship information compiled since the 1995-96 academic year represent active and provisional members. The inclusion of provisional members primarily affects the participation and sponsorship figures at the Division II and III levels, because most of the increase in provisional membership occurred in those divisions. It is difficult to accurately compare data that includes provisional members with data from only active members (i.e., studies done before 1995-96); therefore, the information in this report indicates when the data include provisional members. The 1997-98 and 1998-99 participation rates data were compiled using an improved methodology than was used in previous years.

The data from the 1995-96 and 1996-97 academic years were recalculated using this new method, which more accurately represents the actual participation rates of NCAA member institutions. Therefore, the data for 1995-96 and 1996-97 will not necessarily match the data for corresponding years in publications of this report before the 1998-99 report. This new methodology incorporated data from the Equity in Athletics Disclosure Act (EADA) form. It was not necessary to use the EADA data after the 1998-99 academic year because the NCAA collected participation data based on the EADA definition of a participant. Factors Affecting the Data. Due to the increase in the number of NCAA member institutions, participation and sponsorship numbers may not accurately reflect expansion or contraction of participation opportunities at the institutional level. An increase may simply reflect the number of new institutions that joined the NCAA and sponsor teams for those sports. A variety of other factors also may affect sports participation and sponsorship rates at the collegiate level. For example, changes in high school and college student populations, budget fluctuations, changes in the value of private institution endowments, insurance costs, the popularity of any one sport, and gender-equity concerns can have an effect on sports participation and sponsorship. NCAA rules also may have a limited effect on participation and sponsorship patterns. For example, the 1993-94 academic year marked the first time that institutions could not field teams at a lower divisional level than the rest of their program. As a result, many Division I institutions that fielded Division III football teams raised their team from Division III to I-AA while other institutions may have dropped the sport entirely. Suggestions for the Reader. It is important to note that the statistics provided by the NCAA in this report are derived from self-reported data supplied by its member institutions. No specific checks were made to verify the

information provided by the institutions. While this information provides a good indication of general trends in participation and sponsorship from 1981-82 through 2017-18, the data may not be absolutely precise. For sports in which the NCAA does not offer a championship, the data are even less likely to be precise. Institutions are allowed to count a limited number of non-NCAA sports toward their membership minimums, but they may or may not report participation and sponsorship figures for those teams. It also is important to note that no effort was made to determine the reason for the addition or discontinuation of any team in the added and dropped sports sections. In compiling these data, every effort was made to exclude those institutions, and subsequently the teams associated with those institutions, that added or dropped NCAA membership in any particular year. Therefore, only those teams at institutions that were already members of the NCAA in the specific year reported were included in the added and dropped teams data.

Specific questions concerning the statistics included in this report may be directed to the NCAA research department or public and media relations department at 317-917-6222. Definition of a Student-Athlete. For the purposes of this report, a participant at an NCAA member institution is defined as a student who, as of the day of the varsity team’s first scheduled contest: (a) is listed as a team member; (b) practices with the varsity team and receives coaching from one or more varsity coaches; or (c) received athletically related student aid. Any student who satisfies one or more of the above criteria is a participant, including a student on a team the institution designates or defines as junior varsity, freshman, or novice, or a student who does not play in a scheduled contest, whether for medical reasons or to preserve eligibility (i.e., a redshirt). Student-athletes who participate in more than one sport are counted in each sport. Male practice players on female teams are not included in this report.
