Description: This book answers the question: "How did scandal happen in intercollegiate athletics?" The author exposes the entire system -- the coaches, the athletes, and the staggering financial empires that accompany them. He also explains how coaches and athletic directors cynically run their programs for personal gain and analyzes the "Student-Athlete" charade that undermines the educational mission of many schools.
