  • Keeping Faith with the Student-Athlete, a Solid Start and a New Beginning for a New Century
    August 1999 In light of recent events in intercollegiate athletics, it seems particularly timely to offer this Internet version of the combined reports of the Knight Commission on Intercollegiate Athletics. Together with an Introduction, the combined reports detail the work and recommendations of a blue-ribbon panel convened in 1989 to recommend reforms in the governance of intercollegiate athletics. Three reports, published in 1991, 1992 and 1993, were bound in a print volume summarizing the recommendations as of September 1993. The reports were titled Keeping Faith with the Student-Athlete, A Solid Start and A New Beginning for a New Century. Knight Foundation dissolved the Commission in 1996, but not before the National Collegiate Athletic Association drastically overhauled its governance based on a structure “lifted chapter and verse,” according to a New York Times editorial, from the Commission's recommendations. 1 Introduction By Creed C. Black, President; CEO (1988-1998) In 1989, as a decade of highly visible scandals in college sports drew to a close, the trustees of the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation (then known as Knight Foundation) were concerned that athletics abuses threatened the very integrity of higher education. In October of that year, they created a commission on Intercollegiate Athletics and directed it to propose a reform agenda for college sports. As the trustees debated the wisdom of establishing such a commission and the many reasons advanced for doing so, one of them asked me, “What’s the down side of this?” “Worst case,” I responded, “is that we could spend two years and $2 million and wind up with nothing to show of it.” As it turned out, the time ultimately became more than three years and the cost $3 million.

That's how many fans showed up at Alabama's spring football game. I don't know whether to laugh, cry or invest in Nick Saban's new clothing line. I do know it should answer the concerns of people who think certain university employees are wildly overpaid. "You have to ask the hard questions," NCAA president Myles Brand said. "Is it the appropriate thing to do within the context of college sports?" He was responding to a question about the gold mine Kentucky was ready to dig for Florida basketball coach Billy Donovan. That came after Saban got his $4-million-a-year windfall. And in this week's affront to academic integrity, Rutgers announced its women's basketball coach is going to be making as much as its football coach. It will be interesting to see whether there's the same outcry when a woman cashes in, but that's beside the point. The point is that if anyone still is looking at this in the context of college sports, they hopelessly are blind to reality. The reality is that college sports is an increasingly gargantuan business.
