- catalog abstract ""The phenomenal popularity of college athletics owes as much to media coverage as it does to drum-beating alumni and frantic undergraduates. Play-by-play broadcasts of big college games began in the 1920s via radio, a medium that left much to the listener's imagination and stoked interest in college football. After World War II, the rise of television brought network deals that reeked of money and fostered bitter jealousies between have and have-not institutions in the NCAA. In Play-by-Play: Radio, Television, and Big-Time College Sport, noted author and sports insider Ronald A. Smith examines the troubled relationship between higher education and the broadcasting industry, the effects of TV revenue on college athletics (notably football), and the odds of achieving meaningful reform."--Jacket.".
