The Drake Group
"Defending Academic Integrity in the Face of Commercialized College Sport"
The Drake Group Mission:

The mission of The Drake Group (TDG) is to help faculty and
staff defend academic integrity in the face of the burgeoning
college sport industry. The Drake Group's national network of
college faculty lobbies aggressively for proposals that ensure
quality education for college athletes, supports faculty whose job
security is threatened for defending academic standards, and
disseminates information on current issues and controversies in
sport and higher education. The Drake Group seeks to form
coalitions with other groups that share its mission and goals.

The Drake Group Vision:

The Drake Group vision is to create an atmosphere on college
campuses that encourages personal and intellectual growth for
all students, and demands excellence and professional integrity
from faculty charged with teaching.
