Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
The Coach and the College tells the story of how the amazing competitive success of teams coached by Rollie Greeno facilitated the recruitment to Jamestown College of hundreds of students-athletes who paid tuition and fees that, along with the crucial work of key administrators and dedicated employees and the financial generosity of a handful of alumni, kept the college open during the 1980s and 1990s.
Includes bibliographical references and index.
"Amidst the cheers, pride, tailgating and excitement of college athletics lurks for many Americans the discomforting sense that many colleges have abandoned their academic integrity and the proper relationship between academics and athletics. Located on the rolling farmland of North Dakota sits Jamestown College, whose experience with athletics offers a stunningly different perspective of how athletics and academics can work together to promote the general well-being of the institution."--Back cover.
