"An accomplished sports historian traces pro football's metamorphosis from a regional curiosity into a national obsession....In the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, pro football was seen by athletes and organizers as a corruption of the purer, more noble college pasttime--nevermind that many pros were collegians playing under assumed names. Today, universities fight a losing battle to keep their best players from bolting to the NFL after a season or two on campus. With consummate skill and an impressive command of sources, Peterson chronicles the persons and events thatmade this turnabout a reality....

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!
