Drake Group

The Drake Group is a network of American academics who believe that college athletics has become too dominant a force on university campuses. It was established after a 1999 meeting at Drake University in Iowa by Drake University Provost, Dr. Jon Ericson and Dr. Allen Sack, a sociologist at the University of New Haven, at which the Drake Group presently resides. The current president is Dr. B. David Ridpath of Ohio University.^[1] The Drake Group used to be known as the National Alliance for College Athletic Reform.^[2]

Since 2004, they have given an annual award named after the University of Chicago president Robert Maynard Hutchins.
