Football coaches are not just better known than the administrators, the coaches also tend to make a lot more money. And professors lag even further behind.

		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;This is a remarkable book. Charles Clotfelter uses the tools of policy economics (tools that he wields with the best of them) to shed light on one of the most vexing issues in higher education: Why do so many excellent universities devote so much money and attention to big-time intercollegiate sports? He presents surprising facts [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;A fascinating, insightful discussion of the arms race that is big-time intercollegiate athletics. Clotfelter clarifies how this parallel universe in large universities exists essentially independent of faculty or administrative control, being instead the creature of powerful self-perpetuating groups of &#8216;boosters.&#8217; The convincing, novel demonstration of the role of tax subsidies in supporting these operations should [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;This book offers an excellent discussion of the role of big-time athletics on university campuses today. Instead of either lambasting varsity athletics across the board or celebrating them uncritically, Clotfelter&#8217;s persuasive data, thoughtful analysis, and balanced treatment make a strong case for acknowledging athletics as an integral part of life on many campuses and dealing [...]]]></description>
