The integration of neoliberal principles into higher education and athletics reflects a pervasive shift towards market-driven ideologies. Universities increasingly treat sports as lucrative assets, focusing on revenue generation, corporate sponsorships, and media rights. This capitalistic approach prioritizes institutional branding and financial gains over traditional educational values, sparking debates on ethics and student-athlete welfare. Critics argue that this emphasis on profitability sidelines academic missions and perpetuates inequalities between well-funded programs and others. Moreover, student-athletes face pressures akin to professional athletes, raising concerns about exploitation and the balance between athletic success and academic excellence. Proponents, however, contend that successful athletic programs can bolster institutional prestige and attract funding. Nonetheless, the dominance of neoliberalism prompts ongoing scrutiny of its impact on the broader educational landscape, challenging universities to navigate the complexities of balancing financial imperatives with educational integrity in an increasingly commercialized environment.
