Beer and Circus: How Big-Time College Sports is Crippling Undergraduate Education
Beer and Circus presents a no-holds-barred examination of the troubled relationship between college sports and higher education from a leading authority on the subject.
Murray Sperber turns common perceptions about big-time college athletics inside out. He shows, for instance, that contrary to popular belief the money coming in to universities from sports programs never makes it to academic departments and rarely even covers the expense of maintaining athletic programs. The bigger and more prominent the sports program, the more money it siphons away from academics.
Sperber presents a devastating critique, not only of higher education but of national culture and values.
Beer and Circus is a must-read for all students and parents, educators and policy makers.
