Sporting Heroes As Role Models, Richard C. Crepeau
Sporting Heroes As Role Models, Richard C. Crepeau
On Sport and Society
Charles Barkley has been in our face now for several weeks with a commercial for one of those tiresome shoe companies in which he announces: "I am not a role model. I am not paid to be a role model... parents should be role models...I am paid to wreak havoc on a basketball court. Just because I can dunk a basketball doesn't mean I should raise your kids."

The Ncaa And The Myth Of Amateurism, Richard C. Crepeau
On Sport and Society
Just over a week ago Dick Schultz resigned as the Executive Director of the NCAA, a position he has held since 1987. Schultz has been called a leader in the reform of Intercollegiate Athletics and has changed the public image of the NCAA. His resignation was prompted by the fact that the NCAA had found rules violations in the University of Virginia athletic program during the Dick Schultz years as Athletic Director there. Virginia has been placed on two years probation.

Gretzky, Lemieux, And The Nhl Playoffs, Richard C. Crepeau
On Sport and Society
It's playoff time. In the National Hockey League and the National Basketball Association the second season, the real season, is underway. Every game now has an increased significance, and when you get to the final game of a series there is nothing else like it in sport. When both teams face elimination the level of play is raised to extraordinary heights.
The Death Of Jim Valvano, Richard C. Crepeau
The Death Of Jim Valvano, Richard C. Crepeau
On Sport and Society
Normally the Catholic Church requires a certain passage of time, as well as evidence of the performance of three miracles, before anyone is presented for canonization to sainthood. Apparently ESPN's standards are not quite that high, as the network canonized Jim Valvano last week following his death. Although Valvano had at least one miracle to his credit, the winning of the 1983 NCAA basketball championship with the miracle shot against Houston as time ran out, it still seems unlikely that he is the stuff out of which saints are made.
The Alleged Texas Cheerleader-Murdering Mom, Richard C. Crepeau
The Alleged Texas Cheerleader-Murdering Mom, Richard C. Crepeau
On Sport and Society
Over a year and one-half ago a classic American drama unfolded in Channelview, Texas, where Wanda Holloway, 37, was tried for attempted murder. The charge was that Wanda tried to hire a hit man to kill Verna Heath whose daughter Amber was pushing Shanna Holloway, Wanda's little girl, to defeat in the school cheerleading competition. This was a story that touched the hearts of all Americans.
Baseball's Jeremiad, Richard C. Crepeau
Baseball's Jeremiad, Richard C. Crepeau
On Sport and Society
Over the past two years baseball writers and commentators have pronounced the death or serious illness of the national pastime. The chorus of complaints has become deafening. To those who know their history this is not a surprise. This sort of jeremiad has marked nearly every decade in baseball history.

Fantasy League Baseball, Richard C. Crepeau

I have a confession to make. I vowed I would never do it. It was just too twisted, too much of a perversion of a sacred American institution. But I did it, and I have been doing it for several years

College Basketball has ended another long and lucrative season with the Final Four in New Orleans. March madness has finally ended in April. For the second time Dean Smith's North Carolina team has won a national championship in the Superdome.

The Davis Cup: Us Problems, Richard C. Crepeau
On Sport and Society
In the midst of the glitter of the past weekend of NCAA basketball, there was a story playing itself out on the other side of the globe. For the first time in a decade a defending Davis Cup champion was eliminated from competition in the first round of play. The Australians humiliated the United States 4-1.

Spring Training And Tragedy, Richard C. Crepeau
On Sport and Society
There is no other time like it in sport. Spring training in Florida is a dream, a fantasy, and a time of eternal optimism. It is a dream for all those caught in the endless winter trying to become spring. And it is a dream for all those players at every level of the game trying to start or consummate the march to the majors.

The Transformation Of Basketball: Some History, Richard C. Crepeau

With the NCAA tournament paying its first visit to Orlando, it’s striking to reflect on how much basketball has changed over the past half-century. I was reminded of this twice in the last two months with the death of Henry Iba and Don Barksdale.
The Mighty Ducks And The Marketing Of Sports Merchandise, Richard C. Crepeau
The Mighty Ducks And The Marketing Of Sports Merchandise, Richard C. Crepeau
On Sport and Society
Michael Eisner, the latest gentleman sportsman of our time, announced this week that the new Disney entry in the National Hockey League would be named after a film, and be called "The Mighty Ducks" of Anaheim. They will play in a facility called The Pond. And so with one sweep of his sleazy pen Eisner has degraded hockey and infringed on a fifty-year-old baseball cliche. "Ducks on the Pond" will never again sound the same.

On Sport and Society
This past weekend in one of those nameless faceless tennis tournaments that no one pays much attention to, Martina Navratilova made tennis history by becoming the oldest player to ever defeat a number one ranked player. At age 36 years, 3 months and 29 days, Martina beat the 19 year old Monica Seles in three sets, winning a third set tie breaker. This match ended Seles' winning streak at 34 matches.

Nfl And Nflpa Labor Peace?, Richard C. Crepeau
On Sport and Society
A week ago the National Football League and the NFL Players Association reached an agreement on a new seven year contract, marking the end of a labor dispute that goes back to the twenty four day strike of 1987. The settlement was reached three weeks after an apparent agreement had broken down, and four months after a federal jury in Minneapolis had ruled Plan-B free agency to be in violation of anti-trust laws. Following that decision Judge David Doty urged both parties to arrive at a settlement of their dispute, telling them that he would impose a settlement if necessary.

Three weeks ago the National Hockey League announced at the their winter meetings in Anaheim that they were expanding again, this time adding teams in Miami and Disneyland, While the addition of the Wayne Huizenga's Blockbuster video money is an important coup for the league, it pales next to the addition of the Disney Company as a franchise owner.

Review Of The Changing Image Of The City: Planning For Downtown Omaha, 1945-1973, Harl A. Dalstrom
Review Of The Changing Image Of The City: Planning For Downtown Omaha, 1945-1973, Harl A. Dalstrom
History Faculty Publications
The title of this book is a fine indicator of its essential theme, for this is the story of how the prevailing images of Omaha determined the objectives of city planning. From 1945 to 1973, Omaha's economy changed fundamentally, and this reality eventually changed how local decision- makers perceived their community. These new perceptions finally brought a new orientation in planning for the heart of the city.
