Buying In: Big-Time Women's College Basketball and the Future of
College Sports juxtaposes the rise of women's college sports with
the historical transformations that set the stage for contemporary
big-time college sports. Aaron Miller draws on positive psychology
to create a new framework he calls "positive anthropology." He uses
this lens to highlight the accomplishments of women's college
basketball teams and engages with college athlete exploitation,
pay-for-play, and other contemporaneous issues that affect both
women's and men's teams, though women's teams are often excluded
from the popular conversation. With insights drawn from - and
applicable to - a wide range of scholarly fields in the humanistic
social sciences, this book will be of particular interest to
scholars, researchers and educators working in the fields of sports
studies, gender studies, education, sociology, history, and
anthropology, as well as anyone interested in the future of
big-time college sport and higher education. This book poses and
answers the question: "How can scholars help envision a brighter
future for all college athletes, male and female?"
