Table 1. Athletics Participation

A participant is a student-athlete who either: (a) is listed as a varsity team member; (b) practices with the varsity team and receives coaching as of the day of the first scheduled intercollegiate contest; or (c) receives athletically related student aid (this includes redshirts and those on medical waivers).

Table 2A. Head Coaches Assignments Men's Teams

The table includes paid coaches, volunteer coaches, interns, and graduate assistant coaches. For the purposes of this report, the term "Full Time Coaching Duties" means the individual's employment responsibilities at the institution are exclusively those as coach of that team, and only that team, and are consistent with the institution's definition of a full-time employee or part-time employee of the institution. For purposes of this report, the term "Full Time University Employee" means the individual's overall employment responsibilities at the institution are consistent with the institution's definition of a full-time employee, although that individual may have responsibilities other than as coach of that team, either within the athletic department or another department of the institution.
