    Journal of Issues in Intercollegiate Athletics, 2015, 8, i-iii i © 2015 College Sport Research Institute Fourth and Long: The Fight for the Soul of College Football By John U. Bacon. Published 2013 by Simon & Schuster, New York, NY. (352 pages). ___________________________________________________________ Reviewed by Jonathan A. Jensen, Ph.D. Candidate The Ohio State University ____________________________________________________________ Reformers seeking a tawdry exposé of college football’s seamy underbelly, peppered with tales of crooked coaches and unprincipled student-athletes, will be left wanting by John U. Bacon’s latest work, Fourth and Long: The Fight for the Soul of College Football. While Bacon does provide a cursory review of past football-related scandals and foreshadows the downfall of former University of Michigan Athletic Director Dave Brandon, the student-athletes and their coaches are held up as the heroes of this book. The focus of the book is the incredible dedication of football players and their coaches at four institutions: the University of Michigan, Northwestern University, Penn State University, and The Ohio State University. The book provides glimpses of each at varying points during the 2012 season, with more attention paid to two programs whose seasons were inexorably linked: Penn State and Ohio State. Both programs were ineligible for bowl participation at the conclusion of the season. The sanctions for both were not the result of actions of current student-athletes or coaching staffs, which were in their first year. Thus, this daily struggle of the book’s antagonists to persevere through losses and injuries while paying for the sins of former coaches and administrators is the central theme of the work.

  • Prssa Movember Collegiate Campaign October 2013 – December 2013
    PRSSA MOVEMBER COLLEGIATE CAMPAIGN OCTOBER 2013 – DECEMBER 2013 CAMPAIGN OVERVIEW Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan (BCBSM) is Michigan’s largest insurer, covering over 4.4 million people throughout the state. As part of the Blues’ ongoing effort to help people live healthy lifestyles, this fall, the organization is focusing its efforts on early cancer detection. The campaign kicked off in late August in a partnership with the University of Michigan via the Michigan Football Experience Sweepstakes . The campaign has a three tiered approach, focusing on prostate cancer in September, breast cancer in October, and men’s health in November, aka Movember. The goal of this campaign is to activate students around creating awareness for men’s health in Movember by pulling together a public relations plan to support the objectives outlined below. EARLY CANCER DETECTION: MOVEMBER, CHANGING THE FACE OF MEN’S HEALTH According to the American Cancer Society, more than one million people in the United States get cancer each year. Throughout the fall, Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan and Blue Care Network will lead an effort to bring more awareness to the fight against cancer and the importance of early detection through an integrated communications campaign. The Michigan Department of Community Health reports that cancer is the second leading cause of death in Michigan, contributing to significant economic and social costs. An estimated 55,660 people in Michigan were diagnosed with cancer during 2010 and 20,740 were projected to die from cancer. Uninsured patients and those from ethnic minorities are much more likely to be diagnosed with cancer at a later stage when treatment is more extensive, debilitating and costly.

When you travel abroad you quickly realize it is impossible to explain why a university would own the largest stadium in the country. It is, liter- ally, a foreign concept, one as original as the U.S. Constitution. Indeed, it was Thomas Jefferson who drafted the Northwest Ordinance, providing for the funding of public schools and universities in the states that now constitute most of the Big Ten. “Religion, morality, and knowl- edge being necessary to good government and the happiness of mankind, schools and the means of education shall forever be encouraged.” The idea is so central to Michigan’s mission— even its very existence— it is engraved on the façade of its central building, Angell Hall.
