Description: Focusing on current issues, including the NCAA, Title IX, recruitment of high school athletes, and the Penn State scandal, among others, Sport and the Neoliberal University shows the different ways institutions, individuals, and corporations are interacting with university athletics in ways that are profoundly shaped by neoliberal ideologies.

Review Quotes: "In this series of revealing case studies, the political and economic forces that shape problems ranging from sexual violence to athlete recruitment are laid bare. A must-read for scholars and activists seeking to address the injustices of sport in the neoliberal university."
--Samantha King "School of Kinesiology and Health Studies, Queen's University"
