Sports for Sale
Description
This documentary examines the money-driven machines of college football and basketball and the toll they take on the education of athletes and the integrity of the universities they attend. It examines this controversy in college sports and goes on-location to some of the Division I schools where debates over commercialization and academic success are most heated, including Southern Methodist University, the University of Louisville, Iowa State University and Nike's summer basketball camp for high school stars. Interviewed are coaches, students, journalists, scouts, and college faculty and administrators. A Bill Moyers special.
