Commercial aspects of college football and basketball during the mid- to late 20th century were dominated by a few "get rich quick" schools. Though the NCAA was responsible for controlling such facets of college sports, the organization was unwilling and unable to control the excesses of the few who opposed the majority opinion. The result was a period of corruption, rules violations, unnecessary injuries and overspending. These events led to the formation of larger conferences, richer bowl games and rules intended to preserve the "money-making" value of college football and basketball. This book explores gambling, academic fraud, illegal booster activity and the single-minded pursuit of television contracts in college sports, as well as the NCAA's involvement-or lack thereof-in such cases.
The primary theme of the book presents the necessary thought processes specific to the execution of all baseball skills from the lowest levels to the major leagues. A secondary objective is to provide "sameness" involved in selected internal and external thoughts by incorporating a simple but necessary system allowing players to be ready to play the game pitch by pitch. A player learns to clear his mind of distractiive tension-producing thoughts following each pitch that only adversely affect execution and to direct attention to the next pitch and not to a unknown future outcome (worry) or a past outcome (distraction).
