College Athletes for Hire: The Evolution and Legacy of the NCAA's Amateur Myth
College Athletes for Hire The Evolution and Legacy of the NCAA's Amateur Myth
Author: Allen L. Sack, Ellen J. Staurowsky
Tracing the evolution of college athletes into university employees, this book describes how the NCAA fashioned an amateur myth to obscure this de facto employer-employee relationship. Sack and Staurowsky show how the amateur myth exploits athletes, undermines education, and confuses the issue of gender equity. They also propose practical reforms.
