Who benefits and in what ways from intercollegiate sport? How can we support a more equitable distribution of the benefits? How can we as fans, coaches, policy makers, and academics create a more educationally empowering experience for athletes? These are some of the questions Miller poses in Buying In. He draws on a year of observing Stanford University Women's basketball to provide key insights into the constraints and opportunities to address these important questions. Miller situates this contemporary example within the broader historical context of U.S. intercollegiate sport. He thoroughly describes the structural inequalities that have organized sport, and assesses how racism, classism, and sexism are currently expressed. He then uses Stanford's Women's Basketball program to illustrate some of the ways in which people can create educationally robust sport programs. At the center of Miller's argument, is the critique of taking a binary position on college sport: assuming that it is either inherently good or that it is fundamentally flawed. Miller is concerned that this binary perspective encourages us to either opt out of social action or to opt out of the joy that sport can bring. Instead, he poses that our communities are simultaneously riddled with problems and benefits; that we live with this complexity and have a role to play in making our communities better. Ultimately, he argues that we have agency to make college sport more fair and more educationally sound. Well-written and thoroughly researched, Buying In makes an important contribution to the broader conversation about the value of sport in education and strategies to create positive change., Buying In: Big-Time Women's College Basketball and the Future of College Sports by Aaron L. Miller is the stellar work of a meticulous scholar/researcher and compelling story teller. Miller traces the separate and diametrically opposed histories of men's and women's intercollegiate sport through their intersectional clash in 1975 when Congress adopted Title IX's athletics regulations mandating a future reflecting gender equality in educational sport. Miller chronicles the next 46 years of painstaking progress through up close and personal vignettes told through the voices and team experiences of an iconic Stanford University women's basketball coach and her athletes. These women confront discrimination and explode myths about the skill, toughness and tenacity of female athletes and the economic viability of women's sports. While gender equality has still not been realized and academic integrity seriously damaged by the corrosive aspects of commercialized sport programs, Miller closes with an insightful analysis of what must be fixed, what Stanford has done right, and why the future should be hopeful., Without being an apologist, Aaron Miller has written a celebration of college sports as part of higher education. Using close observation of a big-time women's basketball program, he applies interdisciplinary insights, as well as a full historical perspective to his analysis of the issues that pertain to all of intercollegiate athletics today. This is a timely book.

Synopsis
Buying In: Big-Time Women's College Basketball and the Future of College Sports juxtaposes the rise of women's college sports with the historical transformations that set the stage for contemporary big-time college sports. Aaron Miller draws on positive psychology to create a new framework he calls "positive anthropology." He uses this lens to highlight the accomplishments of women's college basketball teams and engages with college athlete exploitation, pay-for-play, and other contemporaneous issues that affect both women's and men's teams, though women's teams are often excluded from the popular conversation. With insights drawn from - and applicable to - a wide range of scholarly fields in the humanistic social sciences, this book will be of particular interest to scholars, researchers and educators working in the fields of sports studies, gender studies, education, sociology, history, and anthropology, as well as anyone interested in the future of big-time college sport and higher education. This book poses and answers the question: "How can scholars help envision a brighter future for all college athletes, male and female?", Buying In juxtaposes women's college sports with the historical transformations that set the stage for contemporary big-time college sports. Miller draws on positive psychology to create a framework he calls "positive anthropology." He uses this lens to highlight athlete exploitation, pay-for-play, and other issues that affect college sports teams.
