This compelling documentary examines the business of college football and basketball and the NCAA’s treatment of it’s athletes. Based on the controversial article “The Shame of College Sports” by historian and former football player Taylor Branch, this hard-hitting expose tells a story of how college sports became a billion dollar industry built on dedicated young athletes who are deprived of numerous rights. Weaving interviews, archival and behind-the-scenes footage, the documentary sheds a new light on all college sports programs. Narrated by Sam Rockwell (The Way Way Back, Cowboys and Aliens, the Green Mile) and featuring interviews with TV sportscaster Bob Costa, Houston Texans star running back Arian Foster, and other figureheads of American sports. Executive produced by Bobby Valentine.
