Abstract

The purpose of the present research is to explore the role sanctions play in external job promotions of National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Division I-FBS head college football coaches. Specifically, we examined head football coach movement from the 1973-1974 season through the 2012-2013 season, which produced 3,913 coach-season observations. Within college athletics, sanctions come from the actions that are recognized and penalized by the NCAA. Overall, we found 144 incident files related to sanctions. Estimating a logistic regression model, we found sanctions do not impact the likelihood of external job promotion. However, other factors such as on-field performance, university characteristics, and the availability of other coaching positions do influence external job promotion of current head coaches.
