"The NCAA reforms, approved in April [2004], will impose an escalating series of penalties--with real financial costs--on universities that do not meet certain academic standards, including minimum graduation rates. According to NCAA president Myles Brand, the measures are the strongest ever passed by the NCAA, holding not only athletes, but also teams and institutions, accountable for academic achievement. Are they workable?...The answers may lie in the pioneering efforts of one famous university, whose reputation is built more on astrophysics than Astro-Turf." (LOS ANGELES TIMES MAGAZINE) This article reveals how the University of California Berkeley has used a series of scandals to develop "a better model for training true student-athletes."
