College basketball experienced its greatest rise in popularity during the eighties, becoming one of the most commercially successful spectator sports in America. With this rise came an era of scandal: recruiting violations, spurious admittance practices, and controversial treatment of student athletes. Within this guarded context of scrutiny, allegations of improprieties, and media celebrity, Patricia and Peter Adler penetrated the public front of a top twenty basketball team. The result of their efforts, Backboards and Blackboards: College Athletes and Role Engulfment, is a compelling inside account of an exciting, intimidating, and glamorous hidden arena.
Following interviews with contemporaries and eyewitnesses, relatives and friends, and access to documents and archives, the author offers an intimate view of what went on behind the scenes in the Third Reich. He re-examines the lives of Goebbels, Goering, Himmler, Hess, Speer and Donitz, tracing their relationships with Hitler and with Nazism. These very different people shared an awestruck dedication to Hitler and a deep hatred of the Jews. Through diaries and the first-hand observations of those around them, their personalities are brought to life and their actions, to some extent, explained.
