Sport$Biz – An Irreverent Looks at Big Business in Pro Sports
In 1989, journalist Dale Hoffman and I co-authored a book entitled Sport$Biz: An Irreverent Look at Big Business in Pro Sports. In reviewing the book, the New York Times stated that “Sport$Biz is an eye opening account of a society that cares more about sports than it does about cancer research.”

Because of the atmosphere of fear that abusive coaches can create, student-athletes “avoid speaking up for fear of being seen as a complainer or a troublemaker, injuring their opportunity to play.
Zero Tolerance – Abuse Must End – An Opinion
College coaches, administrators and conferences are struggling with the boundaries on what exactly crosses the line in reprimanding, chastising, disciplining, or dishing out what's known as “tough love” to student athletes. Universities need be more concerned with protecting their athletes from an abusive coach than protecting themselves from legal action. Abuse is not good coaching, even when it results in winning. Placing winning games or revenues above sportsmanship, decency, fairness, and ethics is out of the question.
