Abstract

The purpose of this study was to find out if winning could be predicted by spending on facilities and coaches’ salaries by NCAA Division I intercollegiate athletic departments. Using the goals attainment model (Price, 1972) approach, winning, as measured by the National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics (NACDA) Cup Points, was used as the measure of organizational effectiveness for intercollegiate athletic departments. The results of a hierarchical multiple linear regression suggest that a significant proportion of the total variation in Directors’ Cup points was predicted by the combination of total annual debt service, total outstanding debt, average men’s head coach salary, and average women’s head coach salary (F(4, 284) = 183.962, p < .001. Multiple R2 indicates that approximately 75 percent of the variation in Directors’ Cup points was predicted by the combination of total annual debt service, total outstanding debt, average men’s head coach salary, and average women’s head coach salary.
