"John R. Gerdy has seen nearly every side of athletics. He is the son of a high school football coach; he was an All-American and professional basketball player, he was a legislative assistant for the National Collegiate Athletic Association; and he served as an associate commissioner for the Southeastern Conference." "In Air Ball: American Education's Failed Experiment with Elite Athletics, Gerdy brings all of those perspectives to bear and argues that the American system of school and community athletics is broken. But he is no mere naysayer. He offers a bold, progressive blueprint for reforming athletics to meet our country's educational and public health needs."--Jacket.
