College Sports 101: A Primer on Money, Athletics, and Higher Education in the 21st Century This report offers an overview of the business and economic landscape of intercollegiate athletics, with a particular focus on the Football Bowl Subdivision, the top competitive tier of the National Collegiate Athletic Association. It is designed to help policymakers, academic leaders, and other interested parties understand both the economic forces that shape decision making in athletics and the financial consequences of those decisions for higher education as a whole. It also is intended to provide background and context as the Knight Commission considers solutions to the problems.
A Call to Action: Reconnecting College Sports and Higher Education (2001) A ten-year review of progress made since the original Commission report, calling for a stronger commitment to academic standards in college sports.
Reports of Knight Foundation Commission on Intercollegiate Athletics (1991-1993) The commission’s original report, Keeping Faith with the Student Athlete, called for presidential control of intercollegiate athletics to ensure academic and fiscal integrity verified through a transparent certification process. The 1992 and 1993 reports followed the progress of the Commission’s recommendations.
