A searing exposé of how the multibillion dollar college sports empire fails universities, students, and athletes. With little public debate or introspection, our institutions of higher learning have become hostages to the rapacious, smash-mouth entertainment conglomerate known, quaintly, as intercollegiate athletics. In Champions Way, New York Times investigative reporter Mike McIntire chronicles the rise of this growing scandal through the experience of the Florida State Seminoles, one of the most successful teams in NCAA history. A finalist for the Pulitzer Prize for his Times investigation of college sports, McIntire breaks new ground here, uncovering the workings of a system that enables athletes to violate academic standards and avoid criminal prosecution for actions ranging from shoplifting to drunk driving. At the heart of Champions Way is the untold story of a whistle-blower, Christie Suggs, and her wrenching struggle to hold a corrupt system to account. Together with shocking new details about prominent sports figures, including NFL quarterback Jameis Winston and former FSU coach Bobby Bowden, Champions Way shines a light on the ethical, moral, and legal compromises inherent in the making of a championship sports program. Beyond the story of Florida State, McIntire takes readers on a journey through the history of college football, from its origins as a roughneck pastime coached by nineteenth-century professors to its current incarnation as a gold-plated behemoth that long ago outgrew its scholastic environs. Illuminated in rich and disturbing detail is the hidden financial ecosystem that nourishes hundred-million-dollar teams, from the hustlers who recruit players for schools and the athletic departments controlled by rich boosters to the universities whose academic mission and moral authority have been undermined. More than pointing out flaws, McIntire examines their causes and offers hope to those who would reform college sports.

Impelled by runaway spending and rampant corruption, America's much-beloved games of college basketball and football are being threatened. The specter of billion-dollar sums being showered on coaches, voracious athletic directors, hordes of support staff and lavish comforts for fans has led to a near-deafening roar to pay the players. The injustice of such sums being amassed, in the main, from the labor of young men of color many of whom come from disadvantaged backgrounds cannot be justified; and yet, American society has allowed this intractable problem to fester for more than half a century. Lured by the glitter of untold riches, naive young players enroll year after year in colleges and universities expecting the ultimate reward of a highly paid career as a pro. Only a minuscule few will advance that far; even fewer will reap significant financial rewards. Instead of educating them, colleges and universities force them into full-time athletic jobs in which their labor is shamelessly exploited. Small wonder that outraged critics demand compensation for the players, but these same critics only present vague answers when asked how such a radical change would work. College Sports on the Brink of Disaster, first published as Marching Toward Madness and now newly updated, cites twenty-one reasons why the pro-pay position is wrong, among them the prospect that the player talent pool will be concentrated to even fewer rich schools; recruiting wars will lead to more frequent scandals; and the regulatory powers of the NCAA will exponentially increase. Worst of all, pay-for-play will encourage schools to shirk even further the imperative to educate the young athletes. College Sports on the Brink of Disaster presents comprehensive reforms to end cheating and corruption in college sports, to put academics first, and to end the peonage of non-white athletes once and for all.

Finalist for the American Bar Association's 2022 Silver Gavel Award A groundbreaking exploration of sexual violence by one of our most celebrated experts in law and philosophy. In this essential philosophical and practical reckoning, Martha C. Nussbaum, renowned for her eloquence and clarity of moral vision, shows how sexual abuse and harassment derive from using people as things to one’s own benefit—like other forms of exploitation, they are rooted in the ugly emotion of pride. She exposes three “Citadels of Pride” and the men who hoard power at the apex of each. In the judiciary, the arts, and sports, Nussbaum analyzes how pride perpetuates systemic sexual abuse, narcissism, and toxic masculinity. The courage of many has brought about some reforms, but justice is still elusive—warped sometimes by money, power, or inertia; sometimes by a collective desire for revenge. By analyzing the effects of law and public policy on our ever-evolving definitions of sexual violence, Nussbaum clarifies how gaps in U.S. law allow this violence to proliferate; why criminal laws dealing with sexual assault and Title VII, the federal law that is the basis for sexual harassment doctrine, need to be complemented by an understanding of the distorted emotions that breed abuse; and why anger and vengeance rarely achieve lasting change. Citadels of Pride offers a damning indictment of the culture of male power that insulates high-profile abusers from accountability. Yet Nussbaum offers a hopeful way forward, envisioning a future in which, as survivors mobilize to tell their stories and institutions pursue fair and nuanced reform, we might fully recognize the equal dignity of all people.

This book chronicles a University of Alabama historian’s efforts to engage public history over the course of a decade, highlighting personal and educational experiences inside and outside of the classroom. Each chapter reveals how Sharony Green, her students, and collaborators used various public places and spaces in Alabama, including the University of Alabama and Tuscaloosa, where she teaches, as “labs” to learn more about our shared past. Inspired by her familiar beginnings in a historic community in Miami, Florida, the author, a descendant of people from the American South and the Bahamas, unveils her encounters with the built environment, old documents and objects, motion pictures, music, and all kinds of historical actors. The book shares a variety of projects including exhibits and displays, images, videos, songs, and poetry, that serve as manifestations of her encounters with the places around her and her students. Together, these stories uncover an unexpected journey into public history, offering new ways to think about the field and humanities more generally. Teaching Public History Creatively in Alabama is an enlightening resource to both intentional and unintentional practitioners of public history, including scholars, students, and general readers interested in connecting with the past.

這是性別運動革命最好的時代，也是最壞的時代。 然而，究竟之後我們該走往哪個方向？ 【麥田Courant書系最新一彈！】 美國法哲學泰斗瑪莎‧納思邦 給當前女性主義、＃Me Too運動最深思熟慮的建言 對於當代性暴力議題，她提出深刻的詰問； 從法律的面向，她指出最根本的道德、哲學和實踐途徑 「抱最好的期待，做最壞的打算，我們必須更加倚賴法律，若非世界上存在許多邪惡之事，其實我們也不需要制度了。」——納思邦 在這本開創性的作品中，瑪莎‧納思邦為性侵害和性騷擾這類重大的社會挑戰，提供了法律學者的清晰視野，並取材自哲學的思考路徑，詳細闡述了驕傲與貪婪如何導致男性物化與支配他人。她亦犀利的指出問責制度的缺陷，導致某些大人物永遠都能免於司法制裁；以及，受害者報復的渴望，最終為何扭曲了正義的目標。 對於性侵害的問責，以及性騷擾在法律上的認定，長久以來，法界自有其清晰歷史脈絡，納思邦仔細爬梳這些脈絡，接著正面迎擊三座仍牢不可破的「傲慢的堡壘」：司法界、藝術界和體育界。她展示了法律知識界的驕傲特權，展示了藝術界裡那些從來都不受懲罰的自戀行為，以及美國大學體育界中的有毒陽剛氣概，和隨之而來的腐敗；她討論某些男性如何因自身「理所當然的資格」而對他人施行性虐待和性剝削。為了解決前述問題，眾人前仆後繼投入了各種努力，有的成功，有的失敗，而本書也對這此進行詳細的闡釋，並提出解決方案與可謂衝擊性的策略建言。 納思邦撰寫本書的用意，是藉由她擅長的法學和哲學分析去探討「傲慢」的後果。本書也強調正義所需要的技術，要如何細緻地去區分各種差異，也需要各種策略，才能把交戰的各方帶往公正和和平之所在，故而本書會有許多技術上（法律上）的分析，而不僅僅是情緒上的回饋和餵養。納斯邦認為，懲罰唯有奠基於法律之上，當細微的差異都被看見，並且根據罪行的嚴重程度進行了精確校準的情況下，懲罰才能實現其目標。 在這個#MeToo方興未艾的時期，很多案例的懲罰和指控可能過於粗糙，而大規模羞辱取代了程序正義，也生產出大量的「#MeToo」型敘事，這類敘事最後常因懲罰的勝利感而放棄和解。作為一位法學界的先行者，納思邦的視野看到了和解的重要性。本書提出了一個充滿希望的前進之路，打開一個可能性，讓人通向沒有惡意的真確問責制，以及不流於鄉愿、真正無悔的原諒。 【本書兩大目標】： 第一個目標，是揭露那些經常被忽略的故（敘）事，使其更廣為人知，尤其是在走向正義的道路上，那些未受關注的貢獻者所做的努力，而不僅僅是這幾年崛起的名人說法。 第二個目標，是分析三大領域（司法界、藝術界、體育界）拒絕改革的原因，因為即使「#MeToo運動」取得了更大的進步，但基本上，若要對各種性犯罪進行全面問責，門檻仍然存在。 對此納思邦提出建言：我們必須尋求其他類型的結構改變，例如修改對僱員監督的結構（司法界）、讓工會有更大的權力糾舉藝術界的性騷擾與虐待，並廢除一級聯賽的大學美式足球和籃球，轉而支持小聯盟系統，由法律和集體談判進行監督（大學體育界）。 納思邦論【權力支配】——「首先，支配者通常會有一個帶有缺陷的道德文化，將他們的支配在各方面合理化，尤其是靠著檢討被害人。其次，支配者通常會用來維持權力的另一件事，就是助長奴性、剝奪被征服者的自主權和勇氣。他們也會用殘酷的行為強加創傷，目的之一就是打擊被害者的精神。有時候他們是失敗的：人們有強大的韌性和洞察力，而且在最壞的環境中，也的確能夠像寶石一樣閃耀。但是有時候他們會成功，而他們的成功是支配者最深的道德犯罪。」 納思邦論【傲慢的特性與表現】—— （引用但丁）「映入他們眼簾的是一些外形像人的形體，但是這些『人』把自己彎得像一個箍環，所以根本看不到外在的世界或是其他人。他們的臉不是向外的，而是只往內看著自己，所以他們既看不到別人，別人也看不到他們。結果就是讓一頭霧水的但丁認為他們『看起來不像是人』。維吉爾告訴但丁：那是『他們所受處罰的沉重』，讓他們只能用對摺的方式站在地表。不過當然，但丁也深知他們所受的處罰不是要將外物加到他們現在或過去曾經是的那個人。這幅圖像就只是適切的表現出他們那發育不良的倫理狀態。他們雖然身為人，但是從來不曾正眼的看待其他人、承認其他人有完整的人性。他就只盯著自己看。」 納思邦論【女性主義者的憤怒】—— 「憤怒可以很強大而且有價值，如果它表達的是確實而有根據的憤慨，並且面向未來——提出帶有建設性的想法、拒絕以牙還牙的報復主義，而且（讓我們期待）還能夠徹底信任我們將合力創造出什麼。如果耽溺於直覺式的報復主義，憤怒就不是那麼強大和有價值了，我們也都知道陷入報復主義是人類共通的弱點。如果我們清楚看到了報復主義在死刑脈絡中的缺點─我相信大部分女性主義者也都看到了─還主張報復式的憤怒是女性主義的抗爭中不可或缺的，似乎就顯得很奇怪了。」

“완전한 성평등을 향한 화해는 법적 책임 위에서만 가능하다!” 『혐오와 수치심』, 『타인에 대한 연민』 등 약자와 차별에 대한 섬세하고 예리한 통찰로 국내에서도 반향이 컸던 세계적인 석학 마사 너스바움이 성희롱과 권력 남용의 관계를 분석한 『교만의 요새』. 법철학자 마사 너스바움은 모든 차별과 폭력이 ‘교만’에서 비롯된 것이며, 오랜 시간 외면하고 은폐해 온 성범죄의 기저에는 피해자들의 목소리를 무시하고 권력을 비호해 온 법과 문화가 자리하고 있다고 주장한다. 미투 운동과 피해자들의 공개적인 수사 요청 등으로 이전보다 피해자들의 목소리에 경청하는 분위기가 조성되었지만, 법적 보호 장치는 여전히 충분하지 않다고 말한다. 여성이 대상화되고 착취되어 온 역사를 짚으며, 너스바움은 성범죄는 여성의 ‘대상화’에서 시작되었다고 주장한다. 여성을 객체로 전락시키고 지배할 수 있다는 남성 지배 권력의 믿음은 타인을, 특히 여성을 온전히 실재하는 존재로 받아들이지 않는 교만에 빠지게 만들어 “평등한 존중이나 온전한 자율성을 부정”하는 일상에서 ‘젠더적 교만’을 가진 남성을 길러내고 있다.

The New York Times bestseller about the state of college football: Why we love the game, what is at risk, and the fight to save it—“A fascinating saga” (Booklist). In search of the sport’s old ideals amid the roaring flood of hypocrisy and greed, bestselling author John U. Bacon embedded himself in four college football programs—Penn State, Ohio State, Michigan, and Northwestern—and captured the oldest, biggest, most storied league, the Big Ten, at its tipping point. He sat in as coaches dissected game film, he ate dinner at training tables, and he listened in locker rooms. He talked with tailgating fans and college presidents, and he spent months in the company of the gifted young athletes who play the game. Fourth and Long reveals intimate scenes behind closed doors, from a team’s angry face-off with their athletic director to a defensive lineman acing his master’s exams in theoretical math. It captures the private moment when coach Urban Meyer earned the devotion of Ohio State’s Buckeyes on their way to a perfect season. It shows Michigan’s athletic department endangering the very traditions that distinguish the college game from all others. And it re-creates the euphoria of the Northwestern Wildcats winning their first bowl game in decades. Most unforgettably, Fourth and Long finds what the national media missed in the ugly aftermath of Penn State’s tragic scandal: the unheralded story of players who joined forces with Coach Bill O’Brien to save the university’s treasured program—and with it, a piece of the game’s soul. This is the work of a writer in love with an old game—a game he sees at the precipice. Bacon’s deep knowledge of sports history and his sensitivity to the tribal subcultures of the college game power this elegy to a beloved and endangered American institution.

A winner of the Nobel Peace Prize and bestselling author of Banker to the Poor offers his vision of an emerging new economic system that can save humankind and the planet Muhammad Yunus, who created microcredit, invented social business, and earned a Nobel Peace Prize for his work in alleviating poverty, is one of today's most trenchant social critics. Now he declares it's time to admit that the capitalist engine is broken -- that in its current form it inevitably leads to rampant inequality, massive unemployment, and environmental destruction. We need a new economic system that unleashes altruism as a creative force just as powerful as self-interest. Is this a pipe dream? Not at all. In the last decade, thousands of people and organizations have already embraced Yunus's vision of a new form of capitalism, launching innovative social businesses designed to serve human needs rather than accumulate wealth. They are bringing solar energy to millions of homes in Bangladesh; turning thousands of unemployed young people into entrepreneurs through equity investments; financing female-owned businesses in cities across the United States; bringing mobility, shelter, and other services to the rural poor in France; and creating a global support network to help young entrepreneurs launch their start-ups. In A World of Three Zeros, Yunus describes the new civilization emerging from the economic experiments his work has helped to inspire. He explains how global companies like McCain, Renault, Essilor, and Danone got involved with this new economic model through their own social action groups, describes the ingenious new financial tools now funding social businesses, and sketches the legal and regulatory changes needed to jumpstart the next wave of socially driven innovations. And he invites young people, business and political leaders, and ordinary citizens to join the movement and help create the better world we all dream of.

One overeducated Florida State fan confronts the religiously perverted, racially suspect, and sexually fraught nature of the sport she hates to love: college football. Diane Roberts is a self-described feminist with a PhD from Oxford. She's also a second-generation season ticket holder—and an English professor—at one of the elite college football schools in the country. It's not as if she approves of the violence and hypermasculinity on display; she just can't help herself. So every Saturday from September through December she surrenders to her Inner Barbarian. The same goes for the rest of her "tribe," those thousands of hooting, hollering, beer-swilling Seminoles who, like Roberts, spent the 2013–14 season basking in the loping, history-making Hail Marys of Jameis Winston, the team's Heisman-winning quarterback, when they weren't gawking, dumbstruck, at the headlines in which he was accused of sexual assault. In Tribal, Roberts explores college football's grip on the country at the very moment when gender roles are blurring, social institutions are in flux, and the question of who is—and is not—an American is frequently challenged. For die-hard fans, the sport is a comfortable retreat into tradition, proof of our national virility, and a reflection of an America without troubling ambiguities. Yet, Roberts argues, it is also a representation of the buried heart of this country: a game and a culture built upon the dark past of the South, secrets so obvious they hide in plain sight. With her droll Southern voice and a phrase-turning style reminiscent of Roy Blount Jr. and Sarah Vowell, Roberts offers a sociological unpacking of the sport's dubious history that is at once affectionate and cautionary.

Sport is a global phenomenon engaging billions of people and generating annual revenues of more than US$ 145 billion. Problems in the governance of sports organisations, fixing of matches and staging of major sporting events have spurred action on many fronts. Yet attempts to stop corruption in sport are still at an early stage. The Global Corruption Report (GCR) on sport is the most comprehensive analysis of sports corruption to date. It consists of more than 60 contributions from leading experts in the fields of corruption and sport, from sports organisations, governments, multilateral institutions, sponsors, athletes, supporters, academia and the wider anti-corruption movement. This GCR provides essential analysis for understanding the corruption risks in sport, focusing on sports governance, the business of sport, planning of major events, and match-fixing. It highlights the significant work that has already been done and presents new approaches to strengthening integrity in sport. In addition to measuring transparency and accountability, the GCR gives priority to participation, from sponsors to athletes to supporters an essential to restoring trust in sport.
