"In "Reclaiming the Game," Bill Bowen and Sarah Levin have given us
a splendid sequel to "The Game of Life," Their admirable analysis
of the growing divide between academic values and intercollegiate
athletics on our most selective college campuses is meticulous in
its documentation, comprehensive in its scope, and troubling in its
findings. Bowen and Levin make a compelling case for reform and
provide a realistic agenda for achieving it."--Frank H. T. Rhodes,
President Emeritus, Cornell University
""Reclaiming the Game" is a powerful, thought-provoking book
that examines the intersection of intercollegiate athletics with
the mission of the institution. Bowen and Levin lay out the
challenges facing today's intercollegiate programs and make
observations and suggestions to maintain the integrity of athletics
within the context of highly selective liberal arts
institutions."--Amy Campbell, Director of Athletics and Physical
Education, Bryn Mawr College
"Sports play a vibrant part in American college life. The
emphasis on them has gotten out of kilter, however, even at the
most selective liberal arts colleges. "Reclaiming the Game"
describes a growing gap between intercollegiate athletics and basic
academic values. The book is rooted in compelling data. It will be
a catalyst for understanding the facts, thinking about how to do
better, and actually taking remedial action."--W. Taylor Reveley
III, Dean, William & Mary Law School
""Reclaiming the Game" is the rare case of a sequel that is even
better than a great original. Although some sports enthusiasts will
wish this new book could be ignored, it will be hard to dismiss it.
Of great practical importance, this book will receivewide national
attention and have a substantial impact on campus
discussions."--Michael S. McPherson, President, Macalaster
College
"This will become a standard reference. It develops fuller and
more recent data on the academic performance of varsity athletes
than ever before. The book deals especially well with the impact of
increasing competition, specialization, and professionalization on
coaches."--Michael MacDonald, Williams College
