For almost a century, big-time college athletics has been a wildly
popular but consistently problematic part of American higher
education. The challenges it poses to traditional academic values
have been recognized from the start, but they have grown more
ominous in recent decades, as cable television has become
ubiquitous, commercial opportunities have proliferated, and
athletic budgets have ballooned. In the second edition of his
influential book Big-Time Sports in American Universities,
Clotfelter continues to examine the role of athletics in American
universities, building on his argument that commercial sports have
become a core function of the universities that engage in them.
Drawing on recent scandals on large-scale college campuses and
updates on several high-profile court cases, Clotfelter brings
clear economic analysis to the variety of problems that sports
raise for university and public policy, providing the basis for the
continuation of constructive conversations about the value of
big-time sports in higher education.
