Weddings scheduled around a college football team’s bye week. Children taken out of school on Fridays so their family can attend away games. Public officials who win or lose elections based on their college affiliation. Welcome to life in the Southeastern Conference (SEC), the most fanatical family in college football, if not all of college sports. In the fall of 2014, self-professed Notre Dame super fan James March left his home in Chicago to discover for himself what the SEC was really like. 10,000 miles, eighteen games, and four months later, the result was Southbound Traveler, a candid first-person account from the front lines of a unique American subculture. Along his journey March meets a mix of unforgettable characters including fratty elites with mop top comb-overs; friendly good ol’ boys in overalls who use cuss words like punctuation; transplants who swear you don’t have to be born in the South to be a real fan; and families so divided by rooting interests that every holiday dinner is a war of attrition. Part memoir and part cultural exploration, Southbound Traveler examines what makes sports fanaticism so alluring in the first place—and why the game of football means so much to so many across the South.

The Dynamics of Rules: Change in Written Organizational Codes

Written rules in formal organizations are distinctive elements of organizational history; they shape organizational change and are in turn shaped by it. These rules are created, revised, and eliminated in ways that leave historical traces, and they have a visibility and durability that elude non-written rules. They thus provide rich data for an empirical probe into the dynamics of organizational history. This study uses qualitative and quantitative data from the history of a specific organization, Stanford University, to develop speculations about the ways in which written rules change. It contributes both to a theory of rules and to theories of organizational decision-making, change, and learning. Organizations respond to problems and react to internal or external pressures by focusing attention on existing and potential rules. The creation, modification, or elimination of a rule, then, is a response to events in the outside environment (such as new government regulations) or to events within the organization (such as alterations in internal government structures). The authors elaborate a simple set of ideas about written rules and their dynamics, emphasizing the interplay among periodic major shocks to the system from outside, experiences with individual rules as they age and are revised, and the spread of effects through an interconnected set of rules. It is a story in which changes introduced in one part of a rule system create adjustments in other parts, including the same rule later in time, as the consequences of the changes are experienced and as rule-making attention is mobilized, satiated, and redirected. These processes involve the full panoply of political negotiation, symbolic competition, discussion, and problem solving that are typical of organizational decision making.
