Roger Barbee’s recent article, Systemic Racism in College Sports is Only Part of the Story, is the point of departure for a panel discussion with Roger, Seth Isenberg, and me.
Listen to Anchor.FM as we discuss the status and future of big-time college sports–football and men’s basketball, specifically. Closing comments capture my thoughts on the subject.

About Frank Fear
I’m a Columnist at The Sports Column. My specialty is sports commentary with emphasis on sports reform, and I also serve as TSC’s Managing Editor. In the ME role I coordinate the daily flow of submissions from across the country and around the world, including editing and posting articles. I’m especially interested in enabling the development of young, aspiring writers. I can relate to them. I began covering sports in high school for my local newspaper, but then decided to pursue an academic career. For thirty-five-plus years I worked as a professor and administrator at Michigan State University. Now retired, it’s time to write again about sports. In 2023, I published “Band of Brothers, Then and Now: The Inspiring Story of the 1966-70 West Virginia University Football Mountaineers,” and I also produce a weekly YouTube program available on the Voice of College Football Network, “Mountaineer Locker Room, Then & Now.”
