All in all, this book is insufficient to be used as a textbook. The economic analyses are insufficiently explained and are surrounded by too much extraneous discussion. Rather, the book is more of an op-ed against the way the NCAA and college sports are currently implemented.rnAs an example, consider the discussion of the "beer and circus" "theory" (pp. 308-18). There is no economic foundation for this theory, no economic analysis of the theory, and no economic evidence offered in support of or in contradiction to the theory.
