    Hi everyone,

    I'm starting data collection for a research project about the Internet and sports information.

    If you have ever used the Internet to look up any information pertaining to sports, I would
    appreciate if you would fill out my survey. It should take between 11- 15 minutes to complete and
    you could win a prize!!

    apps.ws.utk.edusportsweb

    As part of the convenience sampling procedures we've including a "snowball" option - we're asking
    you to please send the survey on to your friends and family who also go online for sports
    information. There's a form at the end of the survey on which you'll enter your friends' email
    addresses and they'll be whisked the URL.

    Thanks so much for your help.

    from site.... Although we recognize that the Internet is a global medium, we ask that only those
    individuals interested in U.S. sports participate in the survey

    So you only want Americans to take part?? Or as actually implies on your site only people interseted
    in US sports ( what's a "US sport" American Football? Baseball?)

    Looks to be more like market research than anything else... How believable is ESPN compared to CNBC
    and "the sporting news"

    I would be interested in finding out what educational purpose this survey has...

    (unless of course the class is market research 301...)

    Don't take it personally. This looks to me like the usual "market research" study passed off as an
    "educational project".

    Do it anyway, skew the results. <G>
