The purpose of this study was to look into the current operation of collegiate athletic teams. The subjects of this study were 160 athletic directors of universities/colleges in Taiwan. A researcher self-designed questionnaire titled “A Questionnaire concerning the Current Operation of Collegiate Athletic Teams in Taiwan” was used to collect data. A total of 116 valid questionnaires were analyzed. Resuts of this study showed that most universities/colleges (62.93%) had setup and made known the guidelines for establishing an athletic team. The mode number of existing athletic teams in a university/college was 7. Among those, the mode number for teams in regular training was 2, and most of them had no winter or summer training schedules. The reasons for setting up athletic teams were:“it was a traditional team of the university/college”, “instructors or coaches want to have them”, and “the university/college has provided facilities”. The primary source of funding for collegiate athletic teams was the university, with additional funds raised by the team, or donated by outside companies. Most coaches were teachers who had volunteered or had been assigned by the administration, and most were not compensated. In athlete recruitment, students who were highly interested, had outstanding performances, or were regarded as processing good citizenship had a better chance to be selected. Most members of athletic teams had signed up voluntarily. Most universities/colleges have not set up tutoring programs for athletes. In rewarding athletes, gifts or money was most often presented. Of the universities and colleges surveyed, 54.31% have developed a key sport presently, and the considerations were mainly on whether or not the sport was a part of the University Games (or an equivalent level), recognized as a traditional sport, or the team had the potential of winning.
