Competitive Influences on the Interorganizational Regulation of College Athletics

I would like to thank W. Jeff Reynolds, with whom I began this project; Mayer N. Zald, who has influenced much of my thought on this topic; and John C. Anderson, whose discussions helped organize the issues. Howard Aldrich, Jeffrey Pfeffer, and Lawrence Williams provided comments on earlier versions of the manuscript. Jill Rothman provided valuable aid in data processing and Sally Day provided excellent assistance in preparing the manuscript. I also owe thanks to the late Madison Sarratt of Vanderbilt University, who encouraged my interest in the NCAA and whose anecdotes made the work much more enjoyable.
