The purpose of this study was to determine if NCAA Division I-A football program success had a relationship to student-athlete graduation rates. Graduation rate data for 2001 were obtained from the NCAA and cumulative five-year records of selected NCAA Division I-A football programs determined winning percentage for the years 1996-2000. The data were examined by correlating the two variables of winning percentage and graduation rate. The findings show no significant correlation at a probability level of .05. The results of this study indicate the success of a football programs do not have any relationship to low football team graduation rates. Therefore, other factors such as athletic department ideals, commercialization of sport, or the preconceived notion that collegiate football athletes are only enrolled to compete in football may play a factor in graduation rates among NCAA Division I-A football players.

Title: Assessment of selected components of game performance in soccer in the U10 category Objectives: The main objective is to determine the relationship between selected indicators of fundamental motor skills, physical skills, specific football skills and the success of game indicators in a match for 9-year-old football players. At the same time, the aim of the work is to find out the current level of fitness and their comparison with the population norm. Methods: Quantitative research with empirical elements was used for the practical part of this thesis. The method of measurement and observation was chosen as the research method. The research group consisted of U10 players from the AC Sparta Prague (n = 16). The level of fundamental motor skills was determined by using the TGMD-2 test (Test of Gross Motor Development), the level of specific football skills was determined using slalom and LSPT (Loughborough Soccer Passing Test), the level of fitness was determined using the agility test and beep test. The success of the game skills in the match (passing and 1on1) was determined from the video recordings of selected matches. Results: No relationship was found between the evaluated performance based on the analysis of the success of selected game skills and the basic motor skills evaluated by the...
