      It was everything he'd been dreaming of. His future was falling into place... Kadeem is the outstanding quarterback on his high school team, and the college scouts are noticing him. After one particularly good practice, he meets with an assistant coach from Teller University, a school known for their top-notch football program. Kadeem visits the school, goes to games, meets cheerleaders and gets money to go out to eat while he's there, all the while being told that he'll not only have ascholarship to come play for them, but that "your professors will work with us... Teller doesn't want you to lose your scholarship because of academic difficulties." When a coach from a rival university points out that all of that violates the national recruiting rules, Kadeem is angry and feels betrayed. If he wants everything that's been offered to him, all he has to do is keep his mouth shut. If he decides to help the NCAA with their investigation, will it hurt his friends who are depending on sports scholarships to go to college? Will it kill his chances to play ball at the college level? Good football novel for reluctant readers. 7th grade and up. Review copy received from Lerner publishers.
