Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book discusses the present-day practices and social viewpoints related to college athletics that influence how college sports are played. The author argues that these social norms have resulted in athletic competition that often emphasizes athletic dominance and commercial success at the expense of genuine and equal opportunity for all who want to participate. The author seeks to present insightful alternatives that keep the primary pursuit of higher education, as opposed to athletic prowess, at the center of intercollegiate athletic programs.
