Book Reviews of The Game of Life: College Sports and Educational Values
Book Review: Slanted and dull read
Summary: 2 Stars
This book resembles two men with a vendetta over people with a solution. Using a lot and I mean a lot of statistics they turn the data to favor their arguments. If one school out of many supports their claim, that is the stat they use, ignoring the stronger evidence. The authors do not offer solutions beyond "there should be changes made nation wide." These are the same people who write the mellon report, so getting additional attention is their goal, over informing a reader.
