Contents Ground rules -- Big time player -- Not your average boosters -- On the road -- Lists and liaisons -- The closing -- Performance anxiety -- Show me the money -- Studs, lies and videotape -- Under fire -- Better than Harvard, Princeton and Yale -- From Brown to Bates: seeking sanity in the NESCAC -- No end in sight.
Summary This inside look at the athletic recruiting process reveals exactly how the athletic recruiting game is played by coaches, prospects, parents, administrators, admissions officers, and even college presidents in the Ivy League and NESCAC. This book tells how Trinity College became better than Harvard, Princeton, and Yale in squash by recruiting around the world to capture the national title; why a Brown lacrosse coach left the Ivy League recruiting rat race to seek a more sane lifestyle at Bates; and how the admission deans at Princeton, Brown, and Dartmouth view the whole athletic recruiting pages.
