The game of life

college sports and educational values

by

"Shulman and Bowen celebrate the benefits of collegiate sports, while identifying the subtle ways in which athletic intensification can pull even prestigious institutions from their missions. By examining how athletes and other graduates view the game of life - and how colleges play a role in shaping society's view of what its rules should be - Shulman and Bowen go far beyond sports.

They tell us about higher education today: the ways in which colleges set policies, reinforce or neglect their core mission, and send signals about what matters."--BOOK JACKET.
