For The GLory

This is a great non-fiction book. I am in high school so i am searching for a college. i aslo play football wnd would wish to do so for a D-1A college program. this book was very helpful and showed me that D-1 football is not all fun and games. It was very interesting and i could not put it down. it was also very informative and tells may fun and exciting stories about life in the big time college football scene.

Great insights on the realities of college football

After reading this insightful work on the triumphs and tragedies of college athletes, I can honestly say I enjoy the college football I watch more and more. One cannot fail to gain an appreciation for the struggles encountered by student and coach alike. A MUST read for any college sports fan- whether a Nittany Lion fan or not. Very well done and unbiased in its approach...
