Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Hearing Before the Subcommittee on Commerce, Consumer Protection, and Competitiveness of the Committee on Energy and Commerce, House of Representatives: One Hundred Third Congress, Second Session; July, 1994; Serial No; 103-147
AS I said at our first hearing 3 years ago, college sports is big business, and that is the root of its many problems. We have col lege coaches signing million-dollar contracts with endorsement deals on the Side that are worth several million dollars more. We have athletic directors and college presidents switching their teams from conference to conference, setting up new bowl alliances and altering game schedules, all in search of increased television reve nues.
The ncaa college basketball tournament puts college basketball on par with the nba. Indeed, there is nothing amateurish about college Sports with the simple exception of the treatment of the stu dent athlete.
