Title: Eye Opening
Review: As an Englishman living in the United States, I can never get enthusiastic about college sports. I have no alleigance to a US college, so why bother? This book is an eye opener and no mistake. The author says, if your are not in the "Honors Program", then by and large you are going to receive a pretty mediocre undergraduate education if your University is a big time NCAA school. Students don't get a good education, but the university needs their tuition dollars, so it distracts them with the "Beer and Circus" mentality of big time sports. Not only is this a shame, it is a disgrace. He backs up his arguments too with many quotes and references. I was particularly interested in the role he gives to ESPN in this.
Is the review positive or negative?
