| Abstract: |
The presence of research regarding specific student populations demonstrates their importance to the field given the importance of research and knowledge creation in shaping higher education. A growing number of higher education scholar-practitioners have engaged in work addressing college sport but an overwhelming dearth of college sport and athlete-focused higher education research in higher education journals is cause for concern. The purpose of this study is to investigate the presence of college sport research within high impact, general higher education journals between 2010-2019. Using content analysis, the authors examined seven highly regarded higher education journals. Findings support the hypothesis that an absence of sport-related research exists in such journals. Suggestions to address this gap are provided. |
