Summary:
Examines the business of college football and basketball and the NCAA's treatment of its athletes. Based on the controversial article 'The Shame of College Sports' by historian and former football player Taylor Branch, it 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.
