ASSIGNMENT #4

It doesn’t always mean following your heart because there are certain situations
where your heart might say doing the right thing would be x but NCAA rules would

require that it’s y. And so in those situations, while it can pull on you because in
your heart you feel it’s doing the right thing to do it one way, if you’re going to work
in college athletics in the NCAA in association, you have to make decisions that are

in line with the rules you have to play by. —Blake James, Director of Athletics,
University of Miami

I want you to write down the eight virtues that are the strongest for you, those

things in your life that you’re not willing to compromise no matter what. You know
and it’s interesting to see people do that. And then I say okay now think about your
organization the same way because that’s basically the things that you’re not willing

to compromise, if that’s in line with the organization, you’re in a great place. —Al
Golden, Former Head Football Coach, University of Miami

______________
What do these quotes from sport administrators from the University of Miami have
in common? Each is the end result of a personal reflection on ethics in the field of
sport. Each of these professionals has taken the time to dwell on the very core of
his or her foundational beliefs regarding ethics. Yours may be very different, and
that is fine; everyone brings their own experiences and opinions to bear on these
issues. As mentioned throughout this course, ethics is not always a matter of clear
right and wrong. Personal reflection is an important part of making the right
decision.

In this course, you have examined theories, fundamentals, and case studies. Going
forward as a sport administrator, what are some strategies, methods, or models
you examined in this course that you might use in solving ethical dilemmas? This
assignment allows you to develop your own personal reflections on ethical decision
making in sport.

Instructions
In this brief paper, you create a personal philosophy of ethics that will guide you in
your decision making. Please keep in mind that there is no right or wrong personal
philosophy. Every one of you may create a different philosophy depending on what
resonated with you.

Submit by Saturday, 11:59 p.m. ET, a 4-page paper that includes the following:
• Key ethical strategies or methods that might help you as a sport

administrator, and why you selected these
• Key ethical theories or models you might use and why
• A personal philosophy statement on ethical decision making
• The three most-pressing ethical concerns in sport, in your opinion
