Summary

College football is timeless. And so, it seems, are the controversies that surround this erstwhile endeavor filled with more than its fair share of passionate people, controversies that have resulted in a fascinating body of law. Divided into four sections--players, coaches, spectators, and the NCAA--The Little Book of College Football Law covers everything from injuries to sexual discrimination to recruiting violations to that old standby for both college and football, alcohol. This book is a riveting and amusing collection of sports jurisprudence dealing with a number of major collegiate football programs from around the country. It also includes 18 recipes, including such delicacies as 'Kickoff" Gumbo, "Touchdown Time" Chicken Wings, and "Field Goal" Jalapeno Cornbread, for all your tailgating needs.
