About
“I don’t get paid for sticking to sanctimonious principles, The wolves chasing me every day don’t feed on principle, they only eat wins.” Ohio State Coach Ed Hart faces more demands and loftier expectations as college football's "amateur model" implodes. Facing the constant blitz of new challenges that never take a day off, he must adapt and compete amid ever-changing rules that everyone ignores. Blitzed is the first book to take you inside College Football’s current lawless era. It is a thrill ride based on real-world stories detailing issues of big money, transfers, Name, Image & Likeness (NIL), race, academic integrity, social media, campus politics, corruption and mental health. Can anyone endure the constant pressure to stay ahead of a pack devouring everyone in its path?
