Review by Library Journal Review

A Clemson University point guard-turned-basketball pro, Code hoped to build relationships with young athletes when he began working in marketing, eventually becoming a director at Nike. That's when he began to realize how college basketball--including some of its most fable coaches--bent the NCAA's amateurism rules to exploit athletes and particularly athletes of color and found himself not just caught in the middle but playing fall guy in a bribery scandal. With a 150,000-copy first printing.
