Sport and the Neoliberal University - Profit, Politics, and Pedagogy

College students are now regarded as consumers, not students, and nowhere is the growth and exploitation of the university more obvious than in college sports. The contributors to Sport and the Neoliberal University examine how intercollegiate athletics became a contested terrain of public/private interests, looking at college sports from economic, social, legal, and cultural perspectives.
