Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

US college sports permit coaches to admit athletes as university students who may not have otherwise matriculated. Preferential athletic admission seems meritocratic because Black men—once barred from higher education and their sports teams—are now overrepresented in the prominent revenue-generating teams of American football and basketball. But the visibility of Black athletes disguises how white, middle-class athletes are overrepresented in all other sports. This article applies Critical Whiteness Studies (CWS) to 47 life-history interviews with college athletes. CWS implores scholars to identify the everyday and mundane ways whiteness is rooted in our organizations and elevates white people, cultures, and ideologies at the expense of People of Color. Three themes emerged—racialized community resources, choice, and team fit—revealing a dynamic relationship among youth sport inequities and collegiate admission policies that embeds whiteness in intercollegiate athletics and secures white dominance in college sports.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model 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.
