Intercollegiate athletics continue to bedevil American higher
education. At once tied closely with their institutions, athletic
programs often operate outside the traditional university
governance structure while contributing significantly to a school's
culture, identity, and financial outlook. Introduction to
Intercollegiate Athletics, edited by Eddie Comeaux, explores the
complexities of intercollegiate athletics while explaining the
organizational structures, key players, terms, and important issues
most relevant to the growing but often misunderstood fields of
recreational studies, sports management, and athletic
administration. The book is divided into eight sections, the first
three of which describe the foundations, overarching structures,
and conditions that shape athletics and higher education. Three
others explore the ways college athletes experience life on campus,
and the final two delve into the current and future policy contexts
of intercollegiate athletics. Written by a diverse group of expert
scholars, the book's twenty-eight chapters are enhanced with useful
glossaries, reflections from athletics stakeholders, relevant case
studies, and conversation-provoking discussion questions. Aimed at
upper-level undergraduate and graduate students, scholars,
teachers, practitioners, athletic administrators, and advocates of
intercollegiate athletics, Introduction to Intercollegiate
Athletics provides readers with up-to-date and comprehensive
knowledge about the changes to-and challenges faced by-university
athletics programs.
