Description
Welcome to Coors State University, a cash-strapped college that sold naming rights, academic programs, and, ultimately, its soul to a beer company just to keep the lights on. At Coors, the engineering professors are expanding the stadium, criminal justice faculty are the campus cops, and the history profs sell popcorn at concession stands. It's the world turned upside down--yet not very far from the truth at today's big state schools. Big Time is--ruefully and hilariously--a novel for Our Time.

Reviews
Big Time is a subversive, sidesplitting, screwball of a novel. More important, it's a commentary on the role of sports on our college campuses and an examination of what that means for American society today. I have been a big fan of Rus' since I read Paddy on the Hardwood. --Arne Duncan, former U.S. Secretary of Education and author of How Schools Work
--Jesse Washington, ESPN and Andscape writer
