This article investigated whether an association existed between the academic clustering of National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Division I Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) college athletes and the reporting lines of athletic academic support departments at their institutions during the 2017-18 academic year. Critics have argued that college athletes cluster into a major at a higher rate when athletic academic support departments report to athletic department officials instead of university administrators not employed by their athletic department. The authors contacted athletic academic support directors at NCAA Division I FBS institutions to find out whether their departments reported to an administrator employed by or outside of the athletic department. Then, the authors used annual football media guides provided by athletic departments to determine the number of college athletes who were enrolled in each academic major. Finally, the authors used an ANOVA to calculate whether an association existed between an athletic academic support department's reporting lines and the rate that college football athletes clustered into one or more majors. The results indicated that the association between the rate that college football athletes clustered into one or more majors and the reporting lines used by athletic academic support departments at their institutions was insignificant.
