    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.

  • Rich Rodriguez – Jumping Has Legal Consequences
    deference to state high school athletic associations and educational institutions regardless of the adverse effects on students who are deemed ineligible to participate in interscholastic athletics, reflects the judiciary’s strong desire to avoid interfering with and micromanaging the high school educational process.69 In a forthcoming article Professor Timothy Davis and I have proposed that a high school or college athlete should be denied an opportunity to participate in a sport only if doing so actually furthers a legitimate objective of the governing body or a school such as ensuring academic integrity, maintaining competitive balance and fair play, or promoting appropriate standards of conduct.70 In summary, United States law does not establish any constitutionally protected or fundamental right to participate in sports. Nevertheless, Olympic and professional athletes are provided a means to seek independent de novo review of eligibility decisions, usually through a system of private arbitration. In contrast, despite the significant benefits of participation in intercollegiate or interscholastic sports competition, U.S. courts almost uniformly refuse to recognize a legally protected interest in interscholastic or intercollegiate athletic participation or apply more than very limited rational basis scrutiny of student-athlete eligibility determinations unless there is exclusion or discrimination prohibited on constitutional or statutory grounds. ___________ 69. Wooten v. Pleasant Hope R-VI Sch. Dist., 139 F.Supp.2d 835, 843 (W.D.
