Peter Lang has officially released a new textbook titled The Evolution of Collegiate Athletics: Embracing the Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) Era. Co-edited by Dr. Billy Hawkins alongside Aquasia Shaw and Simran Kaur Sethi, the comprehensive 510-page volume serves as the fifth entry in the publisher's Global Intersectionality of Education, Sports, Race, and Gender series.
The book draws on extensive research to analyze the historical, legal, and ethical transformations sweeping through college sports as student-athletes gain financial rights over their identities.
