Game Over by Dave Zirin gives an eye opening account of things that happen in sports off the playing field. For example, Oregon University is struggling to pay their teachers, but that has no bearing on a brand new sports complex costing $41.7 million for their athletes to train in. At Texas, undergraduate tuition increased 4%, but their football coach got a raise of $2 million. This book has stuff like that which you don't always read in the sports pages. I enjoyed most of it and give it 4 stars. This is NOT a page-turner, more like a plow through. I almost gave up on it at the beginning.
