For over a century, major college athletics have operated as a business, undermining the mission of higher educational institutions. This book chronicles the long and painful history of the NCAA's efforts to maintain the myth of amateurism and the student-athlete, along with the adherence to the illusion that the academic success of players is the top priority of Division-I sports programs. It condemns the current system, advocating the view that big college athletics cannot continue its connection to universities without undermining the mission of higher education. It includes bold proposals for separating big college athletics from the university, transforming them into businesses within the campus.
