MURFREESBORO, Tenn.—Colby B. Jubenville, publisher and co-founder of the Journal of Sport Administration & Supervision, has announced the journal’s first call for papers.

“We are pleased to open the submission process for authors to send their research for consideration and review,” Jubenville said.

“This day has been many months in development, but when authors see the outlet we’ve created for their work, we believe they will agree with us when we say that JSAS is an outlet exactly like no other journal.”

Jubenville, an associate professor of sport management and graduate program coordinator at Middle Tennessee State University, pointed to several distinct features that combine to uniquely distinguish JSAS, some of which have been added only in recent days.

My entire professional career has been comprised of crossing over between the academic world and the the world of the practitioner. I have never felt that those two worlds were exclusive, and in fact had consistently worked to do whatever I could to build bridges and encourage collaboration between the two. This has resulted in my connection to helping organize and establish both the Sport Marketing Quarterly (SMQ) and the Sport Marketing Association (SMA). Now another opportunity for collaboration has come along – the Journal of Sport Administration and Supervision (JSAS), and I heartily endorse this new project. I see JSAS as providing information and opportunities to collaborate for young practitioners who want to be more analytic and strategic and also for young academics who want to publish but also want to test and apply what they have learned in real-world settings.

Leon Barmore

Leon Barmore, who coached the Louisiana Tech University women's basketball team to national prominence, has endorsed the concept of the Journal of Sport Administration and Supervision.

“I’ve read each word of the journal’s introductory document and was impressed with what its founders are trying to do,” Barmore said.

“The project has my blessing.”

Barmore led Tech to 20 straight winning seasons, including a 13 seasons with 30 or more wins. He coached the Lady Techsters to 20 straight NCAA Tournaments, nine Final Fours, five national championship games and national titles in 1981, 1982, and 1988.
