An annotated bibliography on revenue producing sports is presented, with attention to: Proposition 48, exploitation of athletes, legal proceedings, research related to athletes and academic performance, psychological characteristics of athletes, and counseling programs for athletes. Introductions to each of the six topics are included. The section on Proposition 48 includes a summary of articles from the "Chronicle of Higher Education," presented in chronological order, as well as articles presenting alternatives to Proposition 48. Higher academic standards for athletes were stipulated by Proposition 48, which was adopted by the National College Athletic Association (NCAA) in 1983. Several ways young athletes are exploited include extravagant promises, the lure of television and national recognition, abuse of transcripts, and practices that dilute academic standards. The section on legal proceedings, which is a compilation of recent cases, law review articles, and articles from legal magazines, covers: broadcasting, discrimination, workers' compensation, the NCAA and regulation of collegiate sports, scholarship athletes and financial aid, education and college sports, violence in sports, racism and the student athlete.
