Abstract

(Excerpt)

The economics of intercollegiate athletics generate strong and divided opinions. The NCAA’s Division I manual espouses the view that college sports should be “a vital part of the educational system” adhering to “standards of scholarship, sportsmanship and amateurism” and reflecting “a clear line of demarcation between intercollegiate athletics and professional sports.” That line is not so clear, however, when it comes to Division I men’s football and basketball programs.
