On Sunday there was an article in the Education Life section of the New York Times titled How Big-Time Sports Ate College Life by Laura Pappano. She quotes from the following book:
Clotfelter, Charles T. Big-time Sports in American Universities. Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 2011. Print.
“During March Madness library patrons with universities with teams in the tournament viewed 6% fewer articles a day as long as their team was in contention.When a team won an upset or close game, article access fell 19 percent the day after the victory. Neither dip was made up later with increased downloads."
