Reclaiming The Game

Over the last four decades, the athletic-academic divide on America's elite campuses has widened substantially. This book examines the forces that have been driving this process and presents concrete proposals for reform. At its core, Reclaiming the Game is an argument for re-establishing athletics as a means of fulfilling-instead of undermining-the educational missions of our colleges and universities. Book jacket.
