Abstract

While major colleges and universities may have little trouble recruiting students due to vast alumni networks, national name recognition, and frequent publicity, smaller colleges and universities may face a more challenging recruiting environment. Targeting a new customer segment, that of student athletes, may be one possible solution to enhancing revenues. This paper discusses the issues involved in pursuing such a strategy.
