In Varsity Green, Mark Yost cuts through clichs and common misconceptions to take a hardeyed look at the current state of college athletics. He takes readers behind the scenes of the conspicuous and highrevenue business of college sports in order to dissect the enormous television revenues, merchandising rights, bowl game payoffs, sneaker contracts, and endorsement deals that often pay state university coaches more than the college president, or even the governor. Money in college sports is nothing new. But readers will be amazed at the alarming depth and breadth of influence, both financial and otherwise, that college sports has within our culture. Readers will learn how academic institutions capitalize on the success of their athletic programs, and what role sportsbased revenues play across campus, from the training room to the science lab. Yost pays particular attention to the climate that bigmoney athletics has created over the past decade, as both the NCAA's March Madness and the Bowl Championship Series have become multibillion dollar businesses. This analysis goes well beyond campus, showing how the corrupting influences that drive college athletics today have affected every aspect of youth sports, and have seeped into our communities in ways that we would not otherwise suspect. This book is not only for the players, policymakers, and other insiders who are affected by the changing economics of college athletics; it is a mustread for any sports fan who engages with the NCAA and deserves to see the business behind the game.
