Conclusions and Parting Words from the Editors

New Directions for Community Colleges, n147 p85-92 Fall 2009
This article takes a highly critical look at athletics and responds to the question of whether contemporary community colleges should continue to maintain athletic programs, especially in times of financial constraint. For balance, the authors have chosen to focus on the negatives. They feel it is important to present a balanced picture in support of the more than seventy thousand community college athletes.
