A Shelf Awareness Best Book of the Year NCAA football is big business. Every Saturday millions of people file into massive stadiums or tune in on television as "athlete-students" give everything they've got to make their team a success. Billions of dollars now flow into the game. But what is the true cost? The players have no share in the oceans of money. And once the lights go down, the glitter doesn't shine so brightly. Filled with mind-blowing details of major NCAA football scandals, with stops at Ohio State, Tennessee, Texas Tech, Missouri, BYU, LSU, Texas A&M and many more, The System explores and exposes the complex, and perhaps broken, machine that churns behind the glamour of college football.

Featuring a new introduction by the author, the paperback edition of Games Colleges Play chronicles the history of intercollegiate athletics from 1910 to 1990. Featuring a new introduction by the author, the paperback edition of Games Colleges Play chronicles the history of intercollegiate athletics from 1910 to 1990—from the early, glory days of Knute Rockne and the Gipper to the modern era of big budgets, powerful coaches, and pampered players. John Thelin describes how sports programs—although seldom accorded official mention with teaching and research in the university mission statement—have become central to university life. As administrators search for a proper balance between athletics and academics, Thelin observes, this peculiar institution grows increasingly powerful and controversial. Thelin examines the 1929 Carnegie Foundation Report, the formation of major athletic conferences, the national college basketball scandals after World War II, the dissolution of the Pacific Coast Conference in the 1950s, and the Knight Foundation Report of 1991. He finds disturbing patterns of abuse and limited reform and explores the implications of these patterns for today's college presidents, faculty, and students. Games Colleges Play provides historical background that will inform current policy discussions about the proper place of intercollegiate athletics within the American university.

In 2010 allegations of an utterly corrupt academic system for student-athletes emerged at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, home of the legendary Tar Heels. Written by UNC professor of history Jay Smith and UNC athletics department whistleblower Mary Willingham, Cheated recounts the story of academic fraud in UNC’s athletics department, even as university leaders focused on minimizing the damage in order to keep the billion-dollar college sports revenue machine functioning. Smith and Willingham make an impassioned argument that the “student-athletes” in these programs are being cheated out of what, after all, they are promised in the first place: a college education. Updated with a new epilogue, the paperback edition of Cheated carries the narrative through the defining events of 2017, including the landmark Wainstein report, the findings of which UNC leaders initially embraced only to push aside in an audacious strategy of denial with the NCAA, ultimately even escaping punishment for offering sham coursework. The ongoing fallout from this scandal—and the continuing spotlight on the failings of college athletics, which are hardly unique to UNC—has continued to inform the debate about how the $16 billion college sports industry operates and influences colleges and universities nationwide.

Delving into the history of gambling and corruption in intercollegiate sports, Cheating the Spread recounts all of the major gambling scandals in college football and basketball. Digging through court records, newspapers, government documents, and university archives and conducting private interviews, Albert J. Figone finds that game rigging has been pervasive and nationwide throughout most of the sports' history. The insidious practice has spread to implicate not only bookies and unscrupulous gamblers but also college administrators, athletic organizers, coaches, fellow students, and the athletes themselves. Naming the players, coaches, gamblers, and go-betweens involved, Figone discusses numerous college basketball and football games reported to have been fixed and describes the various methods used to gain unfair advantage, inside information, or undue profit. His survey of college football includes early years of gambling on games between established schools such as Yale, Princeton, and Harvard; Notre Dame's All-American halfback and skilled gambler George Gipp; and the 1962 allegations of insider information between Alabama coach Paul "Bear" Bryant and former Georgia coach James Wallace "Wally" Butts; and many other recent incidents. Notable events in basketball include the 1951 scandal involving City College of New York and six other schools throughout the East Coast and the Midwest; the 1961 point-shaving incident that put a permanent end to the Dixie Classic tournament; the 1978 scheme in which underworld figures recruited and bribed several Boston College players to ensure a favorable point spread; the 1994-95 Northwestern scandal in which players bet against their own team; and other recent examples of compromised gameplay and gambling.

One of Sports Illustrated’s Top 100 Sports Books of All Time: The riveting story of the point-shaving scandal that shook college basketball to its core It was the ultimate Cinderella sports story. Unranked heading into the 1949–50 season, the City College basketball team delighted their hometown of New York City and shocked the rest of America by winning both the NCAA and NIT tournaments. An unprecedented feat that would never be duplicated, City College’s postseason grand slam was made all the more remarkable by the fact that, in an era when many premier teams were segregated, its starting lineup consisted of 3 Jewish and 2 African American athletes. With Hall of Fame coach Nat Holman and 4 of the starting 5 returning for the 1950–51 campaign, the stage was set for a thrilling title defense. Alas, it was not to be. City College’s season came to an abrupt end when 3 of its star players were arrested on charges of conspiring to fix games. The ensuing scandal, which would engulf 6 other schools and lead to the indictments of 20 players and 14 fixers, cast New York City sports under a dark cloud, derailed the careers of some of the game’s most promising young talents, and forever altered the landscape of college basketball. The basis for the award-winning HBO documentary City Dump, The Game They Played is a poignant portrait of the unforgettable moment when an unheralded team of local boys united New York City in both triumph and disgrace.

When hotshot financial adviser Louis Martin "Marty" Blazer is caught defrauding his NFL-player clients, he faces an impossible choice: accept the inevitable ruin of his career and a lengthy prison sentence, or strike a deal with the federal government that could set him free. With no reasonable defense, Marty offers a story that is far bigger than his own crimes-a story that exposes a multibillion-dollar conspiracy exploiting the nation's most talented college athletes and implicates one of America's most revered institutions, the NCAA. The Department of Justice listens intently as Marty unveils a scandal of epic proportions. Sent undercover by the FBI, Marty embarks on a dangerous mission to infiltrate the innermost circles of college basketball. Over the course of three years, he navigates a world of opulence and deceit, recording thousands of hours of conversations with influential coaches, agents, and executives. From Miami's elite clubs to New York's luxury suites and Las Vegas's shadowy back rooms, Marty uncovers a staggering web of bribery, academic fraud, and financial exploitation that reaches the highest echelons of college sports. In The NCAA Conspiracy, author Maggie Lang delves deep into this explosive true story, revealing the intricate details of Marty's undercover operation and the high-stakes battle to bring justice to a corrupt system. Lawson paints a vivid picture of a world where the allure of celebrity, wealth, and power leads to rampant ethical violations and systemic corruption. The narrative captures the intense psychological and physical challenges Marty faces as he gathers irrefutable evidence, all while maintaining his cover and evading detection. As the operation progresses, the tension mounts, leading to a dramatic climax that shakes the foundations of the NCAA and prompts widespread reform in the sports industry. Marty's journey from disgraced financial adviser to a pivotal figure in one of the biggest scandals in sports history is a tale of redemption and courage, shining a light on the dark side of college athletics. The NCAA Conspiracy is not just a story of corruption; it is a call to action for greater accountability and transparency in college sports. Through meticulous research and compelling storytelling, Lawson exposes the flaws in a system that prioritizes profit over the well-being of young athletes. This book is a must-read for sports enthusiasts, ethical advocates, and anyone interested in the complex dynamics of power and justice in America. Discover how one man's fall from grace led to the exposure of a billion-dollar scandal and a fight for the soul of college athletics. The NCAA Conspiracy will keep you on the edge of your seat, questioning the integrity of the institutions you once revered and championing the need for a fairer, more just future for college sports.
