The purpose of this phenomenological study was to examine the factors influencing retention and connectivism of African American male students who participate in recreational sports activities. As part of this plan, the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board (THECB) launched the African American male initiative in 2009 to provide targeted funding to help improve historically low African American male participation and success rates in Texas Higher Education. It is being reported that improvements in participation and success for African Americans are encouraging, particularly among males, but there is more to be done. The study was conducted at one regional university within the Texas State University System that has an established recreational sports facility and program. There were a total of six African American male participants chosen for this study. All participants were selected based on the criteria requested and their involvement in the campus recreational sports programs. The researcher followed recommendations by Creswell (2013), for qualitative research data analysis. This study also examined how important recreational sports activities were to their connectivism to their institutions. Findings from this study affirm that recreational sports provide opportunities to students to be connected, feel comfortable, and build relationships with their faculty.
