Abstract	"This volume provides unique insight into how American colleges and universities have been significantly impacted and shaped by college football, and considers how US sports culture more generally has intersected with broader institutional and educational issues. By documenting events from the nineteenth and twentieth centuries including protests, legal battles, and policy reforms which were centred around college sports, this distinctive volume illustrates how football has catalyzed broader controversies and progress relating to race and diversity, commercialization, corruption and reform in Higher Education. Relying foremost on primary archival material, chapters illustrate the continued cultural, social, and economic themes and impacts of college athletics on US Higher Education and campus life today. This text will benefit researchers, graduate students, and academics in the fields of Higher Education, as well as the history of education and sport more broadly. Those interested in the sociology of education and the politics of sport will also enjoy this volume." -- Contens: Myths and stories from college football's first one hundred years / Christian K.
