CFP: 7th annual CSRI Conference on College Sport

2014 CSRI Conference on College Sport
April 22-­‐26, 2014 Downtown Columbia Marriott The University of South Carolina Columbia, SC 


Call for Papers
The College Sport Research Institute welcomes the submission of abstracts for its 7th annual CSRI
Conference on College Sport to be held at the Columbia Marriott:
http://www.marriott.com/hotels/travel/caemh-columbia-marriott/

The conference’s mission is to: “Provide students, scholars, and college-sport practitioners a 
public forum to discuss relevant and timely intercollegiate-athletics issues.”

SUBMISSION GUIDELINES:

To be considered for acceptance, abstracts must reflect college-sport research on the history of 
intercollegiate athletics, social-cultural college-sport issues, legal theory or the application of 
law to college-sport issues, business-related issues in college sport, or special topics related to 
current college-sport issues. The research should have reached a fairly complete stage of 
development, and the abstract should provide enough detail about the research, so the
reviewers have sufficient information to judge its quality. Abstracts proposing teaching-related
sessions on college-sport issues will also be considered, as long as the abstract provides 
sufficient detail to judge the quality of the proposed session.

Abstracts will undergo a multi-person, blind-review process to determine acceptance.


Abstracts submitted to CSRI should not be concurrently submitted for consideration to another 
conference.
