My case is that college sports have a negative effect on universities. Since my last post, when my debate wasn't very focused or accurately portrayed, I feel I have gotten a hold of a much better argument and point of view. After reading Confessions of a Spoilsport , I have realized just how much of a negative effect sports really have on universities. To name a few negative impacts, sports bring in the wrong kind of students to a school, the school loses identity in a bad way (I previously had thought the school gained identity for the good), and academics and the students at the school suffer. I am still primarily using this one book, although I do have other sources that have some good points. I also have a few other books that I will continue to explore and get further evidence for my argument. These are a few of the online articles I found:
