Quail Ridge Books

Journalist Andy Thomason provides a gripping and authoritative retelling of the scandal while deftly integrating historical context and strong discussions of the ethics of college athletics and its impact on higher education. The heart-stopping narrative reveals the toll of a college&#x27;s investment in major sports, and the amateurism myth upon which it is based. Based on dozens of original interviews and thousands of pages of documents, Discredited demonstrates just how far a university will go to preserve the athletic status quo: tolerating tarnished careers, ruined reputations, and years of scathing media criticism—all for a shot at competitive glory.He will be in conversation with John Drescher, contributing editor at The Assembly.
