Download or read book Varsity Green written by Mark Yost and published by Stanford University Press. This book was released on 2009-12-03 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Varsity Green, Mark Yost cuts through clichés and common misconceptions to take a hard-eyed look at the current state of college athletics. He takes readers behind the scenes of the conspicuous and high-revenue business of college sports in order to dissect the enormous television revenues, merchandising rights, bowl game payoffs, sneaker contracts, and endorsement deals that often pay state university coaches more than the college president, or even the governor. Money in college sports is nothing new. But readers will be amazed at the alarming depth and breadth of influence, both financial and otherwise, that college sports has within our culture. Readers will learn how academic institutions capitalize on the success of their athletic programs, and what role sports-based revenues play across campus, from the training room to the science lab. Yost pays particular attention to the climate that big-money athletics has created over the past decade, as both the NCAA's March Madness and the Bowl Championship Series have become multi-billion dollar businesses. This analysis goes well beyond campus, showing how the corrupting influences that drive college athletics today have affected every aspect of youth sports, and have seeped into our communities in ways that we would not otherwise suspect. This book is not only for the players, policymakers, and other insiders who are affected by the changing economics of college athletics; it is a must-read for any sports fan who engages with the NCAA and deserves to see the business behind the game.
Download or read book Varsity Green Millionaire Coaches Ruthless Sneaker Wars and the Battle for the Soul of College Sports written by Mark Yost and published by . This book was released on 2008-09 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Should college athletes be paid to play? Are coaches such as Duke's Mike Krzyzewski and Florida's Urban Meyer worth the millions they receive from universities? And who really benefits from the astronomical sneaker deals that schools sign? Veteran Wall Street Journal writer Mark Yost digs into these and other provocative questions in Varsity Green, a groundbreaking investigation into the multibillion-dollar business of the NCAA. From the insanity of recruiting to March Madness itself, sports have long been the financial engine for many schools, and Varsity Green provides an eye-opening education about the dollars behind the diplomas. Yost examines every aspect of college sports--the recruiting of elementary school children, the flaws in Title IX, the golden handcuffs of booster clubs--and unlocks the secrets inside the NCAA's considerable vault. The news is not all alarming, of course. In 1991, Notre Dame--arguably the nation's most lucrative college football franchise--signed its first national television contract. Since then, the university has awarded nearly $700 million in financial aid, all funded by the football program. After reading Varsity Green, you will never watch college sports the same way again.

Download or read book Big and Bright written by Gray Levy and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2015-09-02 with total page 313 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Texas is a diverse state. But the one thing that binds Texans more than their state pride, even more than religion, is football. For the many towns and cities of Texas, high school football is more than a sport or an extracurricular activity—it’s the glue of their community. Author Gray Levy, a high school football coach for more than two decades, became disillusioned with the state of the education system nationwide and traveled to Texas, a place where high school football still matters, to see just what schools and communities were doing right. What he found will both confirm and debunk common presumptions about high school football in Texas, a complex phenomenon that varies by region, school size, and the ethnic diversity of the Lone Star State.
Download or read book Sport and the Law written by Samuel O. Regalado and published by University of Arkansas Press. This book was released on 2014-12-31 with total page 233 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This new collection examines not only how athletes looked to the nation’s judicial system to solve conflicts but also how their cases trans¬formed the interpretation of laws. These essays examine a vast array of social and legal controversies including Heywood v. NBA (1971), which allowed any player to enter the draft; Flood v. Kuhn (1972), which considered baseball’s antitrust status; the Danny Gardella lower level 1948 case regarding free agency and baseball; Muhammad Ali’s celebrated stance against the U.S. draft; Renée Richards’s 1976 lawsuit against the U.S. Tennis Association and its due process ramifications; and human rights violations in international law with respect to the increased recruitment of underage Latin baseball players in the Caribbean region are a few examples of the vast array of stories included. Sport and the Law links these cases to other cases and topics, giving the reader the opportunity to see the threads weaving law and sport together in American society.

Download or read book The Gift written by Chris Green and published by Inter-Varsity Press. This book was released on 2021-08-19 with total page 153 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pastors face two temptations when they consider church leadership: one, common in more culturally conservative churches, is simply to preach faithfully and assume that that alone is adequate Christian leadership; the other, common in more culturally contemporary churches, is to apply secular business wisdom, but uncritically. The books published mirror the two camps. Both drive a wedge between the Bible and leadership. What if the gift of leadership was a clear outworking of biblical teaching? What if there is in the Bible a consistent pattern of human communities flourishing under the good rule of God's Word. Drawing on years of teaching and ministry, Chris Green shows us how, as Mike Ovey put it, Christian leaders can be God's best possible gift to flourishing communities.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Golf is a disease, not a game. Especially when you take the game up in your fifties, as I did. After a series of injuries stopped my recreational tennis play, and my retirement from a lifetime of coaching and teaching tennis, I tried golf. It didn't take long to realize it was not an easy endeavor. Someone said, "You can't learn anything from a golf book, but you have to read a lot of golf books to find that out!" I found the gurus of golf instruction: Ledbetter, Pelz, and Hogan, who was said to have written the book with the secret! I did find one that really attracted me but in a somewhat different way.
