Summary "During the 1980s Black athletes and other athletes of color broadened the popularity and profitability of major-college televised sports by infusing games with a 'Black style' of play. At a moment ripe for a revolution in men's college basketball and football, clashes between 'good guy' white protagonists and bombastic 'bad boy' Black antagonists attracted new fans and spectators. And no two teams in the 1980s welcomed the enemy's role more than Georgetown Hoya basketball and Miami Hurricane football."-- Provided by publisher.
Biography Thomas F. Schaller is a professor of political science at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County.
