Rutgers has become a national news story. The athletic program has been featured on HBO’s real Sports, in USA Today and in several national and international media outlets. The content of the proposed book is largely based on over 150 media stories. Rutgers is not just a national sports story, but a national account of the role of the college athletics arms race in higher education. In an era where college sports is becoming bigger than we ever imagined, universities are increasingly scrutinized for their investment in athletics. Not only has Rutgers made an inordinate monetary investment, but they have mismanaged their investment and divested in the university’s mission and morals. This book offers insight into the myriad of scandals within the Rutgers University athletic program from the purview of a former Rutgers professor whose research interests include college sports scandals.
