Description

Explore the complex realities of collegiate athletics with Special Admission: How College Sports Recruitment Favors White Suburban Athletes. Published by Rutgers University Press, this work provides a critical analysis of the systems that shape modern sports recruitment.

By studying the impact of state control and resource access, this text offers a clear look at the disparities within the American campus system.
