Content:
"Intercollegiate Athletics, Inc. examines the corrupting influence and damaging financial effects of big-time intercollegiate athletics, especially football and to a lesser extent basketball, on American higher education. Students, scholars, sports fans, and those interested in learning how big-time football and basketball have cast such an enormous-and often baleful-shadow upon American colleges and universities will profit from this provocative and engagingly written book"--
Note:
Introduction -- From brutal gentlemen amateurs to "student-athletes" on the payroll: The development of intercollegiate sports -- Stopping football in its tracks-or getting run over -- Athletic fees rout hapless students: the college sports scandal that never makes the headlines -- Money changes everything -- The best boost academics ever had? -- "A game for every girl and a girl for every game?" : a brief look at how women's sports lost their virtue and became carbon copies of the male game -- Reform-or renewal?
