The authors unearth the true story from firsthand interviews and thousands of pages of documents: the forensic report on a bloody fingerprint; the notes of a detective investigating allegations of rape; confidential memoranda of prosecutors; and the criminal records of the dozen-plus players arrested that year with scant mention in the newspapers and minimal consequences in the courts. The statement of a judge, sentencing one player to thirty days in jail, says it all: “to be served after football season.”\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eRead additional praise.","brand":"UNP - Bison Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47016018378992,"sku":"9780803228108","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780803228108_p0.jpg?v=1763726338","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780803228108","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
