The Business and Governance of College Sports provides a timely overview of the business and governance of college athletics at the NCAA, conference, and member institution levels. This book also aims to spotlight the significant issues and areas in which college athletics leaders presently seek change and improvement.  Another goal of this book is to encourage a more informed conversation about important issues in college athletics in part by proposing several practical strategies that would improve the overall student-athlete experience and further align participation in college athletics with the core goals of institutions of higher education.
