Description
After decades of domination on campus, college sportsā supremacy has begun to weaken. āEnough, already!ā detractors cry. College is about learning, not chasing a ball around to the whir of TV cameras.
In Intercollegiate Athletics and the American University James Duderstadt agrees, taking the view that the increased commercialization of intercollegiate athletics endangers our universities and their primary goal, academics. Calling it a ācorrosive example of entertainment cultureā during an interview with ESPNās Bob Ley, Duderstadt suggested that college basketball, for example, āimposes on the university an alien set of values, a culture that really is not conducive to the educational mission of university.ā
Duderstadt is part of a growing controversy. Recently, as reported in The New York Times, an alliance between university professors and college boards of trustees formed in reaction to the growth of college sports; itās the first organization with enough clout to challenge the culture of big-time university athletics.
This book is certainly part of that challenge, and is sure to influence this debate today and in the years to come.
James J. Duderstadt is President Emeritus and University Professor of Science and Engineering, University of Michigan.
