The headline read, "Nike Cuts Off Funds for 3 Universities." This should surprise no one.

Coaching Methods Not For The Classroom - Ncaa And Reform Again, Richard C. Crepeau

March Madness is long gone but College Basketball is still in the news and madness is still in the air. Robert Knight, tenured professor of basketball at Indiana University, has once again come under a cloud as questions have arisen about his teaching methods and his memory.

You know all the cliches. Never watch the first half of an NBA game. Nothing happens in an NBA game until the last two minutes.
The Changing Face Of Spring Training In Florida, Richard C. Crepeau
The Changing Face Of Spring Training In Florida, Richard C. Crepeau
On Sport and Society
As another baseball season begins and the optimism of spring training is quickly overtaken by reality, it occurs to me that spring training here in Florida has undergone vast changes over the past two decades and more may be on the way. I have now been going to spring training for thirty years, another reality with which I must deal, and it remains a special time for me and for the sport.
Baseball Around The World With Special Attention To Japan, Richard C. Crepeau
Baseball Around The World With Special Attention To Japan, Richard C. Crepeau
On Sport and Society
Baseball, the national pastime, has always had vast international ambitions. Around the world tours led by Albert Spalding, Japanese tours coming and going in both countries, and the grand Ruth-Gehrig tour to Japan in 1934, all speak to a long relationship between major league baseball and the world.

Has March Madness ever been madder or is it just me? Each year at this time I am amazed at the amount of media attention given to this multi-million dollar entertainment extravaganza produced by the NCAA. Each year at this time I am increasingly perplexed by how any of this might relate to the educational mission of an American university

Fantasy Sports Come In All Sizes And Shapes And Prices, Richard C. Crepeau
On Sport and Society
With the opening of spring training camps and the arrival of the players in Florida we begin the season of hopes and dreams in baseball. Young players will dream of making the major league club, and older players will dream of World Series victories and large contracts to follow. For those lesser mortals among us there are other kinds of dreams created and manufactured for our pleasure.
New Life For Monday Night Football?, Richard C. Crepeau
New Life For Monday Night Football?, Richard C. Crepeau
On Sport and Society
The firing of Boomer Esiason as analyst for ABC's Monday Night Football seems to have caught a number of commentators and fans off-guard. Personally I have wondered why it took so long. That Al Michaels will not be heading out the door with Boomer should be the real surprise, but then Michaels is a golfing partner of Don Ohlmeyer who returns as the producer of Monday Night Football after a 23 year absence.

Initiation Rituals, Richard C. Crepeau
On Sport and Society
It is called the "elephant walk," an all male single-file procession in the nude in which all participants are connected in a chain by holding on to the penis of the person just behind. This is not a new sport, but it is a part of the sporting atmosphere in many male athletic settings. Most recently this charming ritual was in the news at the University of Vermont where the hockey season has come to an abrupt end.

The Sidney Olympics And Nbc's Bonanza, Richard C. Crepeau
On Sport and Society
Like all of you, I have been worrying a great deal lately about the future of Olympic Television Sponsorship. You can appreciate my relief this week when Dick Ebersol, The Sun King of NBC Sports, announced that his network was about to negotiate a new sponsorship arrangement with John Hancock, the company not the man, for the Sydney games.

Three men, three stories, three sports, one early in his career, one at mid-career and one at the end of his life: Tiger Woods, Ken Griffey Jr., and Tom Landry. All three were in the news this week, and all three have made a heavy impact on their sports. On Saturday a fourth man joined the list.

Super Bowl Vs. Virtual Super Bowl, Richard C. Crepeau
On Sport and Society
It is time for the mid-winter festival of commercial excess. It is time for the holiday commemorating Thorstein Veblen. It is the time of conspicuous consumption, conspicuous leisure, and conspicuous waste. It is a time without restraints and without limits. It is Super Bowl Weekend in America.

The Changing Geography Of Sport In America Since Wwii, Richard C. Crepeau
On Sport and Society
The heavy presence of the National Football League in Florida on Saturday, three Florida teams involved in two playoff games in the state, may or may not be a record. It is however an indication of how much the geography of sport has changed since the end of World War II. These changes are seen not just in Florida but all across the American landscape and are a reminder of how much sport has changed over the past half-century.
Losing Money Going To Bowl Games, Richard C. Crepeau
Losing Money Going To Bowl Games, Richard C. Crepeau
On Sport and Society
With the barrage of bowl games these past several days one can only marvel at the willingness of sponsors and cities to pay out millions of dollars to universities to provide a few hours of entertainment during the holidays. Last year the University of Wisconsin took away $12.5M for the Big Ten from the Badger's Rose Bowl appearance. The participants at this year's Sugar Bowl, allegedly the national championship game, will take away between $11M and $13M each. Moving down the pecking order to near the bottom the payouts run to about a million dollars.

Bowls Everywhere But None To Match The Poulan Weed Eater Bowl, Richard C. Crepeau
On Sport and Society
I entered a state of deep depression recently when I learned that the folks at Poulan are no longer sponsoring the Independence Bowl. The Poulan Weed Eater Bowl is no more. The irritating, loud and stupid relative of all the bowl games is gone. The Poulan Weed Eater Bowl has whacked its last weed.

John Rocker's Si Interview, Richard C. Crepeau
On Sport and Society
It wasn't all that long ago that John Rocker was complaining about being stereotyped by Met fans and New Yorkers. He said that New Yorkers seemed to think that everyone from Georgia had one tooth and married their cousin. The self-styled good old boy resented this sort of sweeping generalization about Georgians and Southerners.

On Sport and Society
Can we say that the final blow to the concept of intercollegiate athletic integrity has now been delivered? With the announcement Friday that Notre Dame has been placed on two years probation and lost two football scholarships, seemingly the last bastion of intercollegiate athletics has been tarnished. A sense of shame walks the campus beneath the Golden Dome.

Fay Vincent, Pete Rose, And Reinstatement, Richard C. Crepeau
On Sport and Society
Pete Rose just won't go away. He just doesn't seem to understand, and probably never will. His ban from baseball was not about his popularity, whatever that might have been, or is. His ban from baseball is the result of the Commissioner of Baseball concluding that there was sufficient evidence that he had been gambling on baseball. He did not contest the finding, but then he also refuses to acknowledge the finding.

The History of Thanksgiving and of Football both go back into the Middle Ages, and so it may not be so strange that the two would become intertwined in modern America.

Ex-Athletes As Politicians, Richard C. Crepeau
On Sport and Society
In recent days and weeks there has been considerable discussion in the national press of Bill Bradley's presidential run and its relationship to his professional basketball career. Such questions as: Should he exploit his NBA fame for political purposes? Should he be using this fame to raise money as he did in the big fund-raiser in Madison Square Garden last week? Why after years of disconnecting himself from his basketball career does he now seek to reconnect? Does this negate his claims that he much more than a basketball player?
Sport And The Denial Of Death, Richard C. Crepeau
Sport And The Denial Of Death, Richard C. Crepeau
On Sport and Society
References to death are frequent in the language of sport. "Sudden death," ends the overtime period. Winning teams often "kill," "wipe out," or "bury" their opponents. In baseball you are a "dead duck" when thrown out at the plate.

There are several items to note in this potpourri of sports which has been delayed while I try to recover from the pain of watching the Atlanta Braves get turned every which way but loose by the New York Yankees. Realistically I did not think the Braves would beat the Yankees but I did expect to see a competitive six or seven game World Series.

Shoplifting And Shop Forgetting In Tallahassee: Fsu One More Time, Richard C. Crepeau
On Sport and Society
It may be something in the air or perhaps the water but whatever the cause illegal shopping for wearing apparel seems endemic to Tallahassee, Florida. Or perhaps it is just the fact that two of the more corrupt institutions of our time are located there: government and a major college football program.

Bud Lite's Bloodless Coup - No Nfl In La, Richard C. Crepeau
On Sport and Society
Two sparsely reported and remarkable events from Sportsworld in the past week caught my eye and have gotten me thinking that we may be witnessing some fundamental shifts in the two sports that claim to be our national game. As one would expect these developments did not take place on the playing fields, but rather in the boardrooms. In baseball the positions of League President have been abolished, and in football it seems likely that the NFL will remain shut out of the Los Angeles market.

Kill the Umpire! Kill the Umpire! It's one of the oldest cliches in American sport. And in the early days of baseball sometimes they tried, and on the rare occasion they succeeded.
