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 in 1999 at a meeting at Drake University in Iowa by Allen L. Sack, a sociologist at the University of New Haven,[1] and 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.
