Why should colleges and universities educate character? In this new article in @JournalMoralEd, @edwbrooks & I provide ten research-based reasons why educating character can help colleges and universities achieve their core purposes. tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…

In grad school when I began reading critical sports studies scholarship, I became skeptical of claims like this from Seth Davis. Many scholars I read saw sports as either a symptom or a cover for all that is wrong in society. They rejected the idea that sports could bring people together in a positive way. There was always a nefarious purpose operating behind the scenes. And for a brief time, I moved in that direction too. But the more I’ve studied sports, the more I’ve come to have a deeper appreciation for sports and its place in society. It’s not that sports are perfect or that they can solve every problem. They can’t fix the serious challenges and divisions we face. There are clear limits. But while sports can’t do everything, they can do something—and I think that “something” is more important now than ever before. They are a space where the full range of human emotions, from joy to sorrow, can be experienced in a collective way. They are a space where community is enacted and formed, where people from a variety of backgrounds and identities actually share a common experience and a common story. They are an embodied activity highlighting and celebrating human creativity and possibility. All of that was on display in the Nebraska / Vandy game last night. And it’s why I still believe that, for all of the imperfections, sports still offer us something beautiful and human and real. It’s why I think this is exactly right:

I had a great time this week at the NetVUE conference (@VocationMatters). I especially appreciated their session on the "Purposeful Student-Athlete,” a project led by Tim Clydesdale. Three takeaways from the session: 1 - "One of the most precious commodities in higher ed is the opportunity to play sports." - Tim Clydesdale For every 100 high school athletes, there are only 7 available spots to keep playing in college. For many students, the opportunity to continue to compete is the main reason they decide to attend a college. Some higher ed leaders and scholars try to downplay the role of sports in the mission of the school. But for many small schools in particular, college athletics literally keeps their doors open. 2 - Being an athlete is a powerful source of identity formation. This is true for large and small colleges. Although they don't get the same resources or attention, athletes at small colleges (DIII or NAIA) lean just as strongly into their identity as an athlete as those in major colleges. 3 - Coaches and athletic staff have many roles and responsibilities. They are asked to develop winning teams, to promote and represent the school, to build relationships with donors and supporters. But one role that cannot be forgotten: they are also educators, and they need to be recognized, encouraged, and affirmed in that role.

As you realize the college sports you grew up with doesn’t exist anymore, it hits you that it may have all been a facade. The reason these teams below existed was largely to players being exploited with no ability to make money & punished for transferring. NIL introduced….cream rises to the top. In 2012 a guy who fell through the cracks in recruiting would spend 4 years at a mid major and develop there…not anymore. 80% of those players trickle up to make the major conference teams that were losing in 2008 better in 2026. College sports was prob better in 2010 but it was due to a model that unequivocally ripped off athletes. I am open to being wrong here, but the game has changed forever and what we watched years ago was fake.

teams trying to replace scouts and coaches with AI will lose out to teams using AI to enhance scouts and coaches
