This is a book about athletic competitors belonging to something larger than their accustomed and immediate pursuits. The centerpiece of this book is an accomplishment of justice in the routine conduct of American intercollegiate athletics. This accomplishment was a resilient assembly of intercollegiate athletic competitors who sustained bilateral playing relationships and concurrently ventured into playing relationships outside their circle. This was a just arrangement because participants tolerated one another's separate pursuits while affirming that they belonged to enduring playing relationships. They affirmed such belonging through their bilateral scheduling practices. Evidence of this justice accomplishment is abundant in hundreds of schedules.This book contains two historical narratives about connected competitors departing one another's company to travel distinctive pathways. In both narratives, athletic competitors reestablished playing relationships from which they had departed. Through their acts of connection, departure, and reconnection, these competitors joined to create enduring patterns of centered belonging. And, they did this as athletic competitors whose interests were directly opposed.

Daniel R. Gilbert, Jr., is Professor Emeritus at Gettysburg College, Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, USA. He earned a BA from Dickinson College, an MBA from Lehigh University, and a PhD from the University of Minnesota, all USA. For 27 years, Dr Gilbert taught undergraduate learners to practice habits of disciplined inquiry in courses about organizations, civil society, and competition. His most recent book emerged from that teaching: A Civil Society Teaching Primer: Seeing Through Water (Cambridge Scholars Publishing, 2025).A display of pennants in a gymnasium first inspired Gilbert to see athletic competition as common ground shaped by competitors whose interests differ sharply. He knew such common ground firsthand as a Dickinson men's basketball player competing with peers from 28 colleges. At the intersection of his modest basketball record (433 career points) and his college teaching, Gilbert authors a new book in which athletic competition entails competitors belonging to something larger that endures beyond any single engagement.
