Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book, we explore the history of college football, and in particular the mythical college championship, from 1869 to the present day. For several years, different media outlets took it upon themselves to declare a national championship, which led to nothing short of confusion. In one year, four different teams were named champion! This chaotic situation and accompanying controversy ultimately led to the creation of the Bowl Championship Series, or BCS. Initially, the BCS selection was based on a formula that incorporated several polls and computer models. However, the proprietary nature of the computer models and the complexity of the mathematics used to combine the data sources to arrive at the final selection did very little to quiet the controversy. This led to the creation of a selection committee to choose the four "best" teams to compete in a four-team playoff. Again, controversy has ensued, with many questioning the politics and nebulous, capricious nature of the criteria. We have created an alternate model, which we have dubbed the weighted wins system, that defines a simple, unbiased, and consistent mechanism for evaluating and comparing the records of the teams in the NCAA's Bowl Subdivision. We have compared the results of the weighted wins model against forty years of actual game results and found that it generates very similar outcomes. The primary difference is that it completely removes politics from the selection process and offers a clear path to the playoffs for all members of the Bowl Subdivision.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With a Foreword by Ara ParseghianThe debate over big-time college sports, never far from the front pages, has once again moved from simmering to hot. Congress has been investigating the tax-exempt status of the NCAA in part because of questions about how commercialized college sports contribute to educational values. Athletes are challenging the NCAA on antitrust grounds to get a bigger share of the revenue. Against this backdrop, more faculty are beginning to be concerned about what is happening at their own universities and to the educational system as a whole as rampant commercialism further invades campus life through big-time sports. A leader among faculty fighting back has been Allen Sack, a co-founder of the Drake Group whose writings and public appearances, including work as an expert witness, have gained him wide recognition as an outspoken advocate for athletic reform. This book brings together in a compelling way both his personal story of life as a highly recruited athlete out of high school and a football player at Notre Dame under legendary coach Ara Parseghian and his fight, since then, as a scholar-activist against what he calls the &“academic capitalism&” of the system under current NCAA rules. Sack distinguishes his own position, as an advocate of athletes&’ rights, from the reformist stance of NCAA President Myles Brand, who believes that commercialized sport and education can peacefully coexist, and the &“intellectual elitist&” position of people like William Dowling, who would like to see big-time college sports kicked off campus altogether. It is a battle with high stakes for all concerned, not least the athletes whose exploitation by the system has been the motivating force for Sack&’s own campaign, now stretching over several decades.

Book excerpt: Beer and Circus presents a no-holds-barred examination of the troubled relationship between college sports and higher education from a leading authority on the subject. Murray Sperber turns common perceptions about big-time college athletics inside out. He shows, for instance, that contrary to popular belief the money coming in to universities from sports programs never makes it to academic departments and rarely even covers the expense of maintaining athletic programs. The bigger and more prominent the sports program, the more money it siphons away from academics. Sperber chronicles the growth of the university system, the development of undergraduate subcultures, and the rising importance of sports. He reveals television's ever more blatant corporate sponsorship conflicts and describes a peculiar phenomenon he calls the "Flutie Factor"--the surge in enrollments that always follows a school's appearance on national television, a response that has little to do with academic concerns. Sperber's profound re-evaluation of college sports comes straight out of today's headlines and opens our eyes to a generation of students caught in a web of greed and corruption, deprived of the education they deserve. Sperber presents a devastating critique, not only of higher education but of national culture and values. Beer and Circus is a must-read for all students and parents, educators and policy makers.
