The book was obviously better but the film is an efficient way to get the much needed information. It is important to know that often when young men apply for football scholarships so they can escape their circumstance, including poverty, they are trading their brain and effectively their soul. The price is too high and the fact that the information is well known and yet still they chose this route speaks to the desperation created by our broken system. Shamefully, there is still a demand when we know the price they are paying. Everyone made a noble attempt in the film and I am glad the information was so widely dispersed.
