The compilation of the All-America roster was supervised by a panel of analysts working in large part with the historical records contained in the files of the Dr. Baker Football Information Service. The roster consists of only those players who were first-team selections on one or more of the All-America teams that were selected for the national audience and received nationwide circulation. Not included are the thousands of players who received mention on All-America second or third teams, nor the numerous others who were selected by newspapers or agencies with circulations that were not primarily national and with viewpoints, therefore, that were not normally nationwide in scope. The following chart indicates, by year (in left column), which national media and organizations selected All-America teams.

Using Contract Law to Tackle the Coaching Carousel By STEPHEN F. Ross & LINDSAY BERKSTRESSER* Introduction STUDENT-ATHLETES who demonstrate the skills and dedication throughout their college careers that predict success in professional sports become attractive prospects for major league drafts. Yet their professional aspirations can be significantly affected by the departure of their college coaches, whose team's recurring success often results in lucrative offers from professional teams or wealthier and more suc- cessful college programs. Although the potential harm to a university left behind by an upwardly-mobile coach is often recognized, less at- tention has focused on the connection between a coach's departure from the university and the student-athlete's standing in the National Football League ("NFL") draft. A recent study has demonstrated that a coach's decision to leave a university can substantially lower an ath- lete's position in the draft.' Each year, a large number of football programs face coaching changes;2 indeed, a top school's hiring away a coach from another program often has a ripple effect-a "coaching carousel."3 Student- * Professor of Law and Director, Institute for Sports Law, Policy and Research, The Pennsylvania State University, andJ.D.
