Historian Taylor Branch Critiques College Sports
ResumeEditor's note: This interview originally aired on September 17, 2011.
The NCAA is facing growing scrutiny from college athletes, coaches and the people who follow college sports. The September 2011 issue of the Atlantic Monthly featured an article by Pulitzer-prize winning historian Taylor Branch — author of Parting the Waters, The Clinton Tapes, and others — entitled "The Shame of College Sports," which criticizes the corruption within the NCAA.
Branch joined Bill Littlefield on Only A Game to discuss his article, the current status of the NCAA and whether we should expect reform in the organization in the near future.
