The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Although there are no options attached we can say the following.

Does participation in intramural sports improve freshmen academic indicators such as GPA and retention after the first year?

Yes, they do. And the reason why is this.

Intramural sports are a proven way to engage and integrate new students so they can have new friends and feel comfortable during their integration phase to college. That is one reason why student affairs departments at colleges provide programs and events that offer students opportunities to learn outside of traditional coursework.

Knowing that not all the students have the athletic ability to get a scholarship and compete in the official representative teams of the university, intramural sports are a great way to invite new students to practice a sport, do exercise, develop new friends, and engage in the activities of the campus, developing also a sense of identity and commitment with the school.

All of these improve their condition and enthusiasm to be good students and also improve freshmen academic indicators such as GPA and retention after the first year.
