  • The Knight Commission on Intercollegiate Athletics: Why It Needs Fixing
    The Knight Commission on Intercollegiate Athletics: Why It Needs Fixing A Collection of Related Commentaries By Dr. Frank G. Splitt The Drake Group http://thedrakegroup.org/ December 2, 2009 Telling the truth about a given condition is absolutely requisite to any possibility of reforming it. – Barbara Tuchman The Knight Foundation's signature work is its Journalism Program that focuses on leading journalism excellence into the digital age—excellence meaning the fair, accurate, contextual pursuit of truth. – The Knight Foundation Website, 2009 INTRODUCTION TO THE COMMENTARIES SUMMARY – The Knight Commission on Intercollegiate Athletics was established in 1989 by the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation. Under the strong leadership of its founding co- chairs, the Rev. Theodore M. Hesburgh and Dr. William C. Friday, the Commission set forth to put pressure on the NCAA to clean up its own act before Congress stepped in to do it for them. Subsequent to their tenure the Commission strayed far off the course they set. Can colleges control the NCAA? The answer, plain and simple, is no. Neither can the Foundation’s Commission on Intercollegiate Athletics as it is presently structured—it needs to be fixed first. To this end, The Drake Group has urged the president and CEO of the Knight Foundation to take a hard look at the Commission, arguing that the Commission has not only moved off mission, but has morphed into an unofficial arm of the NCAA as well—it seems time for critical introspection. This collection of commentaries tells how and why this situation developed and what might be done about it.

  • April 9, 2008 President Myles Brand National Collegiate Athletic
    April 9, 2008 President Myles Brand National Collegiate Athletic Association 700 W. Washington Street P.O. Box 6222 Indianapolis, Indiana 46206-6222 Dear President Brand: The undersigned NCAA college presidents and athletic directors write because of our concern for the values of higher education and sports and the health and safety of college students who we seek to mentor and protect. This communication reflects the views of our colleagues at more than 280 NCAA schools that alcohol advertising and college sports are a bad mix. We respectfully request that the issue of televised beer advertising during the NCAA tournament once again be considered by the NCAA’s Division I Board of Directors and the Executive Committee in their upcoming meetings. The most recent discussion of the issue occurred in 2005, with no change in NCAA policy. Since then, beer advertising during the games continues to undermine the many positive attributes of college sports and taints the NCAA’s status as an inspirational youth brand. We find it odd that the NCAA’s advertising and promotional standards purport to “exclude those advertisements and advertisers…that do not appear to be in the best interests of higher education and student-athletes,” yet allow beer advertising. We note that NCAA policies explicitly exclude alcohol advertising, yet permit ads for beverages with alcohol content of 6% or less. NCAA policies also impose limitations on the number and running time for ads during the final tournament games. These “restrictions” favor form over substance. Given the persistent problems caused by underage and excessive college drinking, much of it in the form of beer, we find it inconceivable that the NCAA’s profiting from beer promotion during the telecasts of college basketball games comports with the best interests of higher education, sports, or student welfare.

  • Autobiographical Notes by Walter Noll, 1988
    Autobiographical Notes by Walter Noll, 1988 Section A. 1925-1946. I was born on Jan. 7, 1925 in Berlin-Biesdorf, a district in the North-East of Berlin. My parents, Franz Noll and Martha Noll, née Janßen, had lived in Berlin since about 1915. My father grew up in Thüringen in central Germany; his parents had immigrated from Rotterdam, Holland, to Germany in about 1890. My Mother grew up in a rural area near Varel in Northwest Germany. Both of my parents had only an 8-year grade-school education. My mother was employed as a maid until she got married. My father went to a trade school for two years and then became a tool-and-die maker. Most of his life he worked for "Jaroslaw's Erste Glimmerwarenfabrik" , later renamed "Scherb und Schwer G.m.b.H.", in Berlin. He eventually became foreman and division manager. He originated 5 patents. My father was active in the Social Democratic Party of Germany (SPD) from the time he was a young man. During the First World War, in 1917, he gave a speech at a rally of striking munitions workers. As a result, he had to spend the last nine months of the war in prison. Later, he became a very strong opponent of the Nazis. When the Nazis attained power in 1933, he predicted that there would be a second world war, that the U.S. would again fight against Germany, and that Germany would again be defeated. Even as a child, I never doubted that he was right.

  • How a Scandal Helped Change IU Forever PLUS IU's Most Influential Presidents & Honoring the Contributions Minorities & Women Have Made to the University
    IU BICENTENNIAL SPECIAL How a Scandal Helped Change IU Forever PLUS IU's Most Influential Presidents & Honoring the Contributions Minorities & Women Have Made to the University By Carmen Siering Founded on January 20, 1820, as the State Seminary, Indiana University has grown from a one-building institution of learning—where a dozen young men were taught the classics by a single professor, Baynard Rush Hall—to a world-class research institution with more than 94,000 students and more than 21,000 faculty and staff on campuses in Bloomington and across the state. The bicentennial was being discussed as early as 2007—the year Michael A. McRobbie became president. But planning for this one-time-only celebration of the university’s first 200 years kicked into high gear in 2015. That’s the year James Capshew was hired as the official university historian, and the Office of the Bicentennial, directed by Kelly Kish, began focusing on a myriad of Bloomington-based and statewide projects to coincide with the anniversary. A website, magazine, blogs, podcasts, videos, oral histories—a true multiplicity of media representations—are An 1836 drawing of the First College Building, located at Seminary Square, published all being utilized to disseminate the gathered research.

  • Collegiate Athletic Reform in the Age of Academic Capitalism
    Journal of Issues in Intercollegiate Athletics, 2009, 2, 76-92 76 © 2009 College Sport Research Institute Clashing Models of Commercial Sport in Higher Education: Implications for Reform and Scholarly Research ____________________________________________________________ Allen Sack University of New Haven ____________________________________________________________ Big-time college sport has successfully weathered one wave of reform after another for over 100 years. Yet, passionate debates continue regarding the educational impact of highly commercialized sport in American universities. The major purpose of this study is to identify the issues and assumptions that divide reformers and reform groups. It also makes explicit the conceptual models—intellectual elitist, academic capitalist, and athletes rights—they use to interpret the reality of commercialized college sport. This study does not test the validity of each model. Rather it explores logical connections between these models and reform policies likely to be pursued by those who embrace them. These conceptual models can also serve as building blocks for theory and future scholarly research. No sooner had collegiate sport emerged as a popular form of commercial entertainment in the latter nineteenth century, than it spawned movements for reform. A number of scholars (e.g., Benford, 2007; Craughron, 2001; Gerdy, 2006a; Smith, 2009) have chronicled the scores of reform initiatives and movements that have been launched since that time. A close look at the literature reveals that early reformers viewed commercialism (making money from college sport) and professionalism (paying players to compete) as a threat to academic values and integrity (e.g. Savage, 1929). College sport has weathered one wave of reform after another for over 100 years.

It’s a smaller, coastal town, right next to the US Air Force base. Our bus had a large, atscreen TV, and during the rst half of the drive, we watched K-Pop videos and a documentary about an isolated tribe that shed and hunted using bows and clubs, and roasted a monkey over a re for food. We stopped to stretch our legs and use the bathroom after an hour-and-a-half, and people purchased a variety of snacks for the rest of the ride. I myself got a bag of walnut- shaped red bean cakes.
