520    "A searing exposé of how the multibillion-dollar college 
       sports empire fails universities, students, and athletes. 
       With little public debate or introspection, our 
       institutions of higher learning have become hostages to 
       the rapacious, smashmouth entertainment conglomerate known,
       quaintly, as intercollegiate athletics. In Champions Way, 
       New York Times investigative reporter Mike McIntire 
       chronicles the rise of this growing scandal through the 
       experience of the Florida State Seminoles, one of the most
       successful teams in NCAA history. A finalist for the 
       Pulitzer Prize for his Times investigation of college 
       sports, McIntire breaks new ground here, uncovering the 
       workings of a system that enables athletes to violate 
       academic standards and avoid criminal prosecution for 
       actions ranging from shoplifting to sexual assault. At the
       heart of Champions Way is the untold story of a whistle-
       blower, Christie Suggs, and her wrenching struggle to hold
       a corrupt system to account. Together with shocking new 
       details about prominent sports figures, including NFL 
       quarterback Jameis Winston and former FSU coach Bobby 
       Bowden, Champions Way shines a light on the ethical, moral,
       and legal compromises inherent in the making of a 
       championship sports program. Beyond the story of Florida 
       State, McIntire takes readers on a journey through the 
       history of college football, from its origins as a rough 
       neck pastime coached by nineteenth-century professors to 
       its current incarnation as a gold-plated behemoth that 
       long ago outgrew its scholastic environs. Illuminated in 
       rich and disturbing detail is the hidden financial 
       ecosystem that nourishes hundred-million-dollar teams, 
       from the hustlers who recruit players for schools and the 
       athletic departments controlled by wealthy boosters to the
       universities whose academic mission and moral authority 
       have been undermined. More than pointing out flaws, 
       McIntire examines their causes and offers hope to those 
       who would reform college sports."--Jacket flap.
