This volume provides unique insight into how American colleges and universities have been significantly impacted and shaped by college football, and considers how U.S. sports culture more generally has intersected with broader institutional and educational issues. By documenting events from the nineteenth and twentieth centuries including protests, legal battles, and policy reforms which were centred around college sports, this distinctive volume illustrates how football has catalyzed broader controversies and progress relating to race and diversity, commercialization, corruption, and reform in higher education. Relying foremost on primary archival material, chapters illustrate the continued cultural, social, and economic themes and impacts of college athletics on U.S. higher education and campus life today. This text will benefit researchers, graduate students, and academics in the fields of higher education, as well as the history of education and sport more broadly. Those interested in the sociology of education and the politics of sport will also enjoy this volume.

The story about the most lopsided, highest scoring football game ever played as prominently featured by broadcast media including ESPN, the CBS Sports Network, National Public Radio, and in a number of print publications including metropolitan daily newspapers and periodicals nationwide. Heisman's First Trophy is a riveting novel based on a true story featuring romance, greed and revenge about a historically significant college football game played more than 100 years ago credited with changing the way the national media at the time viewed college football in the South. On a mission to save their beloved alma mater from financial demise, a handful of Kappa Sig fraternity brothers, representing tiny Cumberland University, boarded a train in Lebanon, Tennessee and traveled to Atlanta to play a monstrous Georgia Tech team coached by the legendary John Heisman. The game, which remarkably saw no first downs and hand a number of twists and turns, ended with Tech winning 222-0, a record score that remains still today in college football. Tech's win put Coach Heisman on a path to his first national championship, saved Cumberland from likely having to close its doors forever, and changed the perception of a nation about the quality of football being played in the South. From the cost of a bottle of Jack Daniels in 1916 to why Tech withdrew from the SEC in 1963, Heisman's First Trophy is consumed with history about the game of football, its legends, special events and memorable games.

Images of Sports: Minnesota-Wisconsin College Football Rivalry features magnificent games through the years, plus stories and images of remarkable players and coaches. Included are the historic national championships, Rose Bowls, All-Americans, and even fantasy teams, plus the involvement of presidents Theodore Roosevelt and John F.
