THE 2006-07 NATIONAL DIRECTORY OF COLLEGE ATHLETICS
Occasionally a book comes into the Young Adult reference collection that needs to be seen by many teens and the following title is one every student athlete may need to look at.
Planning to play sports in college, you might want to look at the reference book commonly known as THE YELLOW PAGES OF COLLEGE SPORTS or THE 2006-07 NATIONAL DIRECTORY OF COLLEGE ATHLETICS, the Men's Edition. This spiral bound directory lists 2090 junior and senior colleges that compete in intercollegiate athletics.
Each entry lists the name, address and telephone of the college, affliliation to the NCAA, conference, enrollment, colors, nicknames, college president,stadium and arena. The important facts come next. Athletic Director list name, telephone number and email address. Each sport is listed alphabetically with the coach's name and telephone number. If the sport is really big at the college you might find the assistant coaches listed.
When I checked out my alma mater, the University at Albany, I discovered the university had a Director of events management and operations, a media relations individual and a football team. I did graduate in the last century, before it became known as the University at.
There is one interesting advertisement. The Hilton family of hotels lists hotels by state, city and approximate mileage to different colleges from a particular hotel.
This title is held at the Young Adult Services desk and will require a library card.
