Can Football Buy Smarter Students?

چکیده
There is a mentality across universities that money spent on athletics might be better spent on things that directly impact the academic environment of the institution. For example, in order to better the university one may argue that money spent on upgrading the library is more appropriate than money spent on renovating the stadium. The more general issue is the conflict between spending on academics verses athletics in the college environment. Since resources are scarce, colleges need to find the optimal allocation of funds in order to maximize benefits across the institution. Colleges get exposure from their sport teams; but are the benefits gained from this exposure enough to justify funneling money away from academics? In addition, do funds spent on athletics really detract from the academic success of its students? More specifically, my research question is: does money spent on Division I-AA athletics, and specifically football, help increase the prestige of the university by attracting brighter students?
