Requirements: .ePUB, .PDF, .MOBI/.AZW reader, 2.4 Mb
Overview: If your heart beats faster on Saturday afternoons as your team takes the field, this book will give you new insight into the fanaticism and chaos that characterize college football today. Stewart Mandel takes a provocative, hard-hitting look at the hot-button issues: the controversial BCS; the polls and their largely arbitrary rankings; the ego-inflating recruiting craze; cheating and recent scandals; the huge pressures and salaries heaped on coaches; the Heisman hype-fest; the NFL draft; the clunky conference expansions; privileged Notre Dame, college football’s greatest juggernaut; and the proliferation of bowl games. You’ll getbehind-the-scenes insights on how the issues evolved and why some are almost impossible to resolve.
You’ll see how tradition, politics, and money influence college football today. You’ll discover that, while the rules of the game are hard and fast, the rules governing college football are blurred and pliable. And you’ll find a book that’s as entertaining, passionate, and thought-provoking as the game itself.
