Abstract
Although stories about sport were written as early as the Olympian Odes of Ancient Greece, the genre and academic study of sport literature is still in its relative nascence. But although sport lit- erature courses have only been taught at postsecondary institutions for the last forty years, their remarkable popularity and potential for interdisciplinary study have made them a fixture at many academic institutions. As a sport literature instructor, I have honed my own best practices for teaching sport literature, developed in response to the unique challenges and opportunities as- sociated with this area of study. This commentary discusses the evolving field of sport literature, in terms of teaching and learning practices. By illuminating key areas of consideration, includ- ing definitions, objects of study, and teacher-student expectations, I outline how sport literature can provide students and instructors with a more open, progressive, and mutable model that car- ries forward into their work. Ultimately then, this commentary explores the unique potential of teaching sport literature and finding new and positive approaches for teachers across disciplines.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
