Call for Papers
3rd Annual Conference
April 16-19, 2008 – Memphis, TN

To be considered for acceptance, abstracts must reflect college-sport research on the history of intercollegiate athletics, social-cultural college-sport issues, legal theory or the application of law to college-sport issues, business-related issues in college sport, or special topics related to developing college-sport issues. The research should have reached a fairly complete stage of development, and the abstract should provide enough detail about the research, so the reviewers have sufficient information to judge its quality.

Education is the base for our future, and definitively not only depends on on the engagement of the students but also on the quality of the education.
