As it gets increasingly harder and harder for us writer-types to reach new audiences, much less our existing audiences, I remind you that if you've read a book of ours (like, for me, BLACK RIVER ORCHARD) and liked it, it'd be swell if you left a review somewhere. That way we don't die in the abyss!

β€œCollege sports is big business. College athletes generated almost $16 billion in revenue for [schools] in 2019, without being able to negotiate... compensation or working conditions. The antidote to this out of control greed is unions.” - Bernie Sanders

This case could revolutionize college athletics because, unlike Dartmouth, which sets precedent only for private institutions, the NLRB is treating USC, the Pac 12, and the NCAA as joint employers, which means that public schools may also be covered by the ruling.

"Coaches have been allowed to manipulate and coerce athletes for a long time. I bet many would consider it a part of the job." - former SEC 🏈 player The USC NLRB case may put an end to that--and be even more significant than Dartmouth MBB unionization. Our latest, for Jacobin.

I loved working on this book. The underlying history is one of my favorite things to describe to people, too - a tremendous example of how to take a literal world's worth of history over 100+ years and turn it into an engaging, readable narrative.
