For over 100 years, higher education and college football have shared an interesting and tenuous relationship. College Football brings a dynamic to a college campus unlike many other features. The United States is the only country in the world to link sports and academics so intricately. But that nexus creates tensions and challenges, for students on the team, for the athletic department and for the College Administration. So much of higher education’s sense of place and self has revolved around football on campus. Those who wish to work in Higher Education will be exposed to the dynamics that football brings to a college campus. This course will cover the finances, oversight, enrollment, and campus climate and will include discussions on NCAA Divisions I, II and III, as well as community colleges.
