Bowled Over Big-Time College Football from the Sixties to the BCS Era

Former college and professional football player Oriard explores a wide range of trends that have changed the face of college football and transformed the role of the student-athlete. He gives close attention to decisions by the NCAA in the early 1970s that helped transform student-athletes into athlete-students and turned the college game into a virtual farm league for professional football. The relentless necessity to pursue revenue, he argues, undermines attempts to maintain academic standards, and it fosters a football culture in which athletes are both excessively entitled and exploited.
