The student-athlete's life: practice, gym, weight room, film review, repeat. Simply put, sports come first. Academics is a distant second.In this timely new edition of the award-winning The Miseducation of the Student-Athlete, authors Kenneth L. Shropshire and Collin D. Williams, Jr. provide essential context for understanding college sports in an era transformed by Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) rights. While student-athletes can now profit from their personal brands—with some earning more than $4 million annually—the fundamental challenge remains: balancing athletics with meaningful education.The book's original groundbreaking analysis of how to fix college sports is now preceded by a new preface that examines the post-2021 revolution in collegiate athletics. The authors explore how NIL rights have affected the student-athlete experience while reinforcing their central argument that education must remain paramount. Their Student-Athlete Manifesto and Meaningful Degree Model remain more relevant than ever as institutions navigate these unprecedented changes.Drawing on their extensive experience in sports leadership and education, Shropshire and Williams offer crucial insights for athletic departments, policy makers, and athletes themselves as they work to ensure that the "student" in student-athlete isn't lost amid new financial opportunities. This updated edition serves both as an introduction for new readers and a vital update for those familiar with the original work.
