College Sports — Unwinding Madness

Extensively based on their work as members of The Drake Group, Gerald Gurney, Donna Lopiano and Andy Zimbalist present a cogent summary of the history, issues, and Drake recommended solutions to unwind the corrupting influences of highly commercialized college sports.  From academic fraud, lavish expenditures inappropriate for non-profit institutions of higher education, the exploitation of predominantly minority athletes in football and basketball, to the taxing of all students to subsidize athletic programs, the authors call for Congress, college presidents and provosts to act on a reform agenda. After watching, find out what you can do to ask Congress to act.
