Educators
Greetings! This page will be devoted to Knight Commission reports, white papers and news releases as well as scholarly resources on intercollegiate athletics. We will be developing these offerings over the course of 2006, and we welcome input and suggestions.
Below is a catalogue of the Knight Commission’s own publications, all of which are available as Portable Document Format (pdf) files on the website, along with links to external reports prepared for the commission.

Division I-A Postseason History and Status: A 2004 report on the framework and economics of postseason football at the highest level.
Challenging the Myth: A report by the Cornell University economist Robert Frank about the economic literature proving that athletic success does not correlate with higher institutional fund-raising, more student applications, more applications from better students, or other commonly-proposed benefits of intercollegiate athletics.
