Confessions of a Spoilsport: My Life and Hard Times Fighting Sports Corruption at an Old Eastern University
by William Dowling
Synopses & Reviews Confessions of a Spoilsport is the story of an English professor who, having seen the University of New Mexico sink academically in the period of a major basketball scandal, was galvanized into action when Rutgers joined the Big East. It is also the story of the Rutgers 1000 students and alumni who set out against enormous odds to resist the decline of their universityeviscerated academic programs, cancellation of minor sports, loss of the best and brightest in-state students to the nearby College of New Jerseywhile tens of millions of dollars were being lavished on Division IA athletics. Ultimately, however, the story of Rutgers 1000 is what the New York Times called it when Milton Friedman issued his ringing statement: a struggle for the soul of a major university.
