Dowling, W.C. (2007). Confessions of a Spoilsport: My life and hard times fighting sports corruption at an old eastern university. University Park: Pennsylvania State University Press. William Dowling talks about the corruption that sports bring to universities and analyzes the situation at Rutgers University. A teacher with good credentials, Dowling provides first-hand experiences and solid evidence. He talks about how colleges have shifted their focus away from academics and have become lost in the world of sports. This book provides the counter-argument to my paper and will provide a good opposing view for me to better create an argument.
Fizel, John and Fort, Rodney. (2004). Economic of College Sports. Westport, Connecticut: Praeger Publishers. This book talks about the decisions concerning athletic programs at universities. The authors point out the financial issues with college sports and how the overall financial effects of sports on universities may be deceiving to the public. This will help my paper because it provides an overview of the whole impact economically of college sports.
