Book excerpt: ABSTRACT: This study was an analysis of the Knight Foundation Commission on Intercollegiate Athletics and the impact it had in the regulation of collegiate sports reform from 1989-2001 when the commission was active. The Knight Commission was funded exclusively by the Knight Foundation, an independent group of the Knight-Ridder Inc. newspaper chain which makes charitable donations to higher education programs and community programs in the 26 cities where a Knight-Ridder newspaper is published. In particular, the Knight Foundation has made a strong commitment to improving higher education journalism programs worldwide. The researcher interviewed six of the 22 Knight Commission members who served on the commission throughout its entirety from 1989-2001. The six members included Creed C. Black, former president of the Knight Foundation and member of the Knight Foundation Board of Trustees; Dr. William Friday, president emeritus of the University of North Carolina; Dr. Thomas K. Hearn, president of Wake Forest University in North Carolina; C. Thomas McMillen, former Maryland congressman and former professional basketball player; Richard Schulz, former NCAA executive director and former executive director of the U.S. Olympic Committee; and Dr. Charles E. Young, president of the University of Florida.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In an era when college football coaches frequently command higher salaries than university presidents, many call for reform to restore the balance between amateur athletics and the educational mission of schools. This book traces attempts at college athletics reform from 1855 through the early twenty-first century while analyzing the different roles played by students, faculty, conferences, university presidents, the NCAA, legislatures, and the Supreme Court. Pay for Play: A History of Big-Time College Athletic Reform also tackles critically important questions about eligibility, compensation, recruiting, sponsorship, and rules enforcement. Discussing reasons for reform--to combat corruption, to level the playing field, and to make sports more accessible to minorities and women--Ronald A. Smith candidly explains why attempts at change have often failed. Of interest to historians, athletic reformers, college administrators, NCAA officials, and sports journalists, this thoughtful book considers the difficulty in balancing the principles of amateurism with the need to draw income from sporting events.

This book was released on 2009 with total page 53 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Knight Commission's landmark 1991 report, "Keeping Faith with the Student-Athlete: A New Model for Intercollegiate Athletics," proposed a new "one-plus-three" model for intercollegiate athletics--presidential control directed toward academic integrity, fiscal integrity, and an independent certification process to verify that integrity. Indeed, the "one-plus-three" model provided a roadmap that the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) and university presidents used to implement academic and governance reforms over the past two decades. Despite the progress made with presidential governance and academic reforms, the escalating costs of competing in big-time intercollegiate sports, especially at Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS, formerly Division IA) institutions, have remained an intractable problem. These circumstances made the need for a new study addressing the increasing costs of intercollegiate athletics especially urgent. The current project focusing on FBS university presidents and their views on the financial state of college athletics and the implications of the cost pressures associated with participation in the FBS comes at a critical time. Universities in the FBS experience these pressures most acutely, and the Commission has not conducted presidential-level research since the early 1990s. The research with the 119 FBS university presidents was completed in two stages. The first, consisting of quantitative research, was conducted from March 18 to May 20, 2009. The second phase consisted of qualitative telephone interviews with FBS presidents who had completed a quantitative interview and agreed to participate in a follow-up discussion. Consistent with the quantitative findings, a very high majority of the presidents interviewed expressed the conviction that greater transparency of the finances of intercollegiate athletics is needed at both the institutional, conference, and national levels. Appended are: (1) Questionnaire for quantitative research interviews; (2) Discussion guide for qualitative research interviews; (3) Top line findings from quantitative research; (4) Quantitative research report; and (5) Letter from Knight Commission co-chairs inviting FBS presidents to participate in study.

Book excerpt: Featuring a new introduction by the author, the paperback edition of Games Colleges Play chronicles the history of intercollegiate athletics from 1910 to 1990. Featuring a new introduction by the author, the paperback edition of Games Colleges Play chronicles the history of intercollegiate athletics from 1910 to 1990—from the early, glory days of Knute Rockne and the Gipper to the modern era of big budgets, powerful coaches, and pampered players. John Thelin describes how sports programs—although seldom accorded official mention with teaching and research in the university mission statement—have become central to university life. As administrators search for a proper balance between athletics and academics, Thelin observes, this peculiar institution grows increasingly powerful and controversial. Thelin examines the 1929 Carnegie Foundation Report, the formation of major athletic conferences, the national college basketball scandals after World War II, the dissolution of the Pacific Coast Conference in the 1950s, and the Knight Foundation Report of 1991. He finds disturbing patterns of abuse and limited reform and explores the implications of these patterns for today's college presidents, faculty, and students. Games Colleges Play provides historical background that will inform current policy discussions about the proper place of intercollegiate athletics within the American university.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Walter Byers, who served as NCAA executive director from 1951 to 1987, was charged with the dual mission of keeping intercollegiate sports clean while generating millions of dollars each year as income for the colleges. Here Byers exposes, as only he can, the history and present-day state of college athletics: monetary gifts, questionable academic standards, advertising endorsements, legal battles, and the political manipulation of college presidents. Byers believes that modern-day college sports are no longer a student activity: they are a high-dollar commercial enter-prise, and college athletes should have the same access to the free market as their coaches and colleges. He favors no one as he cites individual cases of corruption in NCAA history. From Byers' first enforcement case, against the University of Kentucky in 1952, to the NCAA's 1987 "death penalty" levied against Southern Methodist University of Dallas, he shows the change in the athletic environment from simple rules and personally responsible officials to convoluted, cyclopedic regulations with high-priced legal firms defending college violators against a limited NCAA enforcement system. This book is a must for anyone involved in college sports--athletes, coaches, fans, college faculty, and administrators. As NCAA executive director, Byers started the an enforcement program, pioneered a national academic rule for athletes, and signed more than fifty television contracts with ABC, CBS, NBC, ESPN, and Turner Broadcasting. He oversaw the growth of the NCAA basketball tournament to one that, in 1988, grossed $68.2 million. As the one person who has been inside college athletics for forty years, Walter Byers is uniquely qualified to tell the story of the NCAA and today's exploitation of college athletes. "There has been no other executive in the history of professional, college, or amateur sports who has had such an impact in his area." --Keith Jackson, ABC Sports "Walter Byers has done more to shape intercollegiate athletics that any single person in history. He brought a combination of leadership, insight, and integrity to intercollegiate athletics that we will never again see equaled." --Bob Knight, Head Basketball Coach, Indiana University

Book excerpt: The Subcommittee on Commerce, Consumer Protection and Competitiveness of the House Committee on Energy and Commerce met on three occasions to hear testimony on intercollegiate sports and in particular on proposed legislation to regulate college sports, to assure due process in investigations of the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA), and other issues such as college sports at historically black colleges and universities, and treatment of women's athletics. All three hearings were held in Washington, D.C. The first hearing included witnesses Creed Black. President of the Knight Foundation Commission on Intercollegiate Athletics, David P. Roselle of the University of Delaware, head coaches from universities in Nevada and Louisiana, a writer and sports investigator Dan Yaeger, and various legislators. This hearing touched on broad issues of abuse within college athletics and the regulation of athletics. The second hearing concerned academics and athletics, particularly with regard to how well or poorly institutions served the students they recruited to play athletics. Witnesses included university administrators, a spokesman for Senator Terry Sanford of North Carolina, Mississippi Senator Thad Cochran, the chairman of the NCAA Presidents Commission, head coaches from state universities, and officials of the Knight Commission and the Center for the Study of Sport in Society. The final hearing addressed issues of the historically black colleges and universities and their participation or lack of participation in the national sports scene as it is broadcast on television. Witnesses included officials from the NCAA, coaches, university executives, Education Department researchers, Renaissance Foundation executives and others. Included are the prepared statements of the witnesses and supporting statements and documents. (JB).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Reclaiming the Game, William Bowen and Sarah Levin disentangle the admissions and academic experiences of recruited athletes, walk-on athletes, and other students. In a field overwhelmed by reliance on anecdotes, the factual findings are striking--and sobering. Anyone seriously concerned about higher education will find it hard to wish away the evidence that athletic recruitment is problematic even at those schools that do not offer athletic scholarships. Thanks to an expansion of the College and Beyond database that resulted in the highly influential studies The Shape of the River and The Game of Life, the authors are able to analyze in great detail the backgrounds, academic qualifications, and college outcomes of athletes and their classmates at thirty-three academically selective colleges and universities that do not offer athletic scholarships. They show that recruited athletes at these schools are as much as four times more likely to gain admission than are other applicants with similar academic credentials. The data also demonstrate that the typical recruit is substantially more likely to end up in the bottom third of the college class than is either the typical walk-on or the student who does not play college sports. Even more troubling is the dramatic evidence that recruited athletes "underperform:" they do even less well academically than predicted by their test scores and high school grades. Over the last four decades, the athletic-academic divide on elite campuses has widened substantially. This book examines the forces that have been driving this process and presents concrete proposals for reform. At its core, Reclaiming the Game is an argument for re-establishing athletics as a means of fulfilling--instead of undermining--the educational missions of our colleges and universities.
