contents	If Football Referees Made Accreditation Calls: A Modest Proposal Appleson, Robert R. Team Sports College Faculty College Athletics Accreditation (Institutions) Barely a week passes without the "Chronicle of Higher Education" or another periodical decrying the perverse influence of college football on academic quality. Faculty keep saying (justifiably) that sports advocates care more about athletic prowess than about student learning, that even assistant coaches make more money than tenured faculty, and so forth. Defenders of college football are often reduced to arguing that satisfied fans may eventually contribute a book to the library. That is hardly a ringing defense, but the popular culture, as well as the average alumnus, demands football. This article asks the reader to imagine a list of choices of existing calls by football officials, which already cover many accreditation findings that not only would better the public's understanding and value of accreditation, but, more importantly, would bridge the chasm between football and academic quality.
