Journal of Hispanic Higher Education, v20 n2 p179-192 Apr 2021
The National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) serves as the primary governing organization for college athletics. The NCAA is now responsible for representing a growing proportion of student-athletes who identify as Latinos. This study examined the experiences of Division I Latino male student-athletes. Questionnaires and interviews were used to understand how race and athletics shape their college experiences. Findings revealed the following three themes: racial remarks, peer stigmas, and cultural obligations.
