Three days before the college football national championship game, star quarterback LeMarcus James and teammate Emmett Sunday ignite a player's strike -- declaring they won't compete until all student athletes are fairly compensated. With billions of dollars at risk and legacies on the line, the stakes couldn't be higher. Now, with only hours until kickoff, their head coach and various power brokers must race against the clock to protect or destroy the prevailing collegiate athletics system.
I really liked this movie alot because it is about a topic that has bothered me for a long, long time. This movie basically perfectly addressed the absolute bs that exists in college sports with the players that universities and coaches are making billions of dollars off of not getting paid in any way for essentially their name. This movie covered pretty much every point I have ever made when debating this and told it in a way where the escalation and politics of it all was perfectly played out.
I would definitely recommend people checking this movie out and hopefully it opens lots of eyes about college athletics moving forward.
