Book description:

"For fifteen years, sports agent Josh Luchs made illegal deals with numerous college athletes, from top-tier, nationally recognized phenoms to late-round draft picks. Flagrantly flaunting NCAA and NFL Players Association rules, he made no-interest loans to players in exchange for the promise of representation on their lucrative pro contracts. After cleaning up his act in 2003, he moved to a new agency, only to be targeted and pushed out of the business for a new violation-one he arguably did not commit.

Then, in October 2010, Luchs wrote a confessional article in Sports Illustrated, telling the truth about what he did and didn't do. Since then he has taken on a new role: whistle-blowing, truth-telling reformer. And in telling his own story, Luchs pulls back the curtain on the real economy of college football: how agents win players legally and otherwise, the staggering sums colleges make from an unpaid workforce, the shortfalls of supposed full-ride scholarships, and the myth of a college education given to scholarship jocks.

Including new information about major players and scandalized programs such as USC, Auburn, and Ohio State, this book pulls no punches. It's a stunning and necessary read for anyone who loves the game, and the first step toward fixing a broken system."

By the way, the foreward to this book was written by George Dohrmann. Not kidding.

Enjoying some of Clarett's tweets in response to his name being drug through the mud yet again.  He really seems to be in a pretty good place mentally.  Hope it's not just words.

Wow, let's hope the rest of the book is more interesting. That was some boring sh--. Was there a scandal somewhere in there? Not being sarcastic. That Clarrett hung with a rough crowd and made poor decisions was pretty well documented by that point in his career.
