This research investigate the contradictory role of the National Collogiate Athletic Athletic Association (NCAA) as the linkng-pin organization within the economic and educational network of intercollegiate athletic organizations. The NCAA is posited as an institutional structure that developed from struggles over the legitimate definition and practice of intercollegiate athletics within the system of higher education in the U.S. It regulates athletic competition and the distribution of material resources in the network and strives to develop and maintain the legitimate purposes of athletic competition in the system of higher education. This study furthers research in the social organization of sport by combining economic and cultural explanations to reveal competing rationalities and the ebb and flow of domination in the institutional process
