Purpose of the Study
Coming back to the initial argument that athletic departments have effectively attained their athletic goals via loose coupling between rules and actual activities, the current research was set to investigate the relationships between intercollegiate goals and processes, on the one hand, and patterns of bureaucracy, on the other. In this sense, this initial research endeavor was to explore and describe relationships between intercollegiate athletics goals and processes and coaches‘ perceptions of how institutional

rules have been negotiated inside athletic departments (patterns of bureaucracy). To attain this aim, the specific purposes of this research were:
(a) to propose and test the psychometric properties of a scale created to measure different patterns of bureaucracy in athletic departments;
(b) to explore and describe the structural relationships among intercollegiate athletics goals, processes, and patterns of bureaucracy in all three NCAA divisions; and
(c) to compare three different populations of coaches, based on their NCAA division membership, regarding the structural relationships among intercollegiate athletics goals, processes, and patterns of bureaucracy.
A comparison among the three NCAA divisions was used to explore Meyer and Rowan‘s (1977) perception that loose coupling between institutional form and actual activities would be very widespread in highly institutionalized settings.
