Updated with a new epilogue, the paperback edition of Cheated carries the narrative through the defining events of 2017, including the landmark Wainstein report, the findings of which UNC leaders initially embraced only to push aside in an audacious strategy of denial with the NCAA, ultimately even escaping punishment for offering sham coursework. The ongoing fallout from this scandal-and the continuing spotlight on the failings of college athletics, which are hardly unique to UNC-has continued to inform the debate about how the $16 billion college sports industry operates and influences colleges and universities nationwide.
Reviews / Votes
"Cheated sounds an important call for reform."-Gregg Easterbrook, Wall Street Journal "Those who care about the soul-and economics-of the $16 billion-a-year college sports industry should clear their reading calendar for Cheated."-Paul Barrett, Bloomberg Business "[Cheated] offers a stinging critique of UNC-Chapel Hill's handling of the academic and athletic wrongdoing that kept student athletes eligible to compete and persisted for nearly two decades."-Jane Stancill, News & Observer "All readers interested in education, public affairs, and college athletics will find this book essential."-John Maxymuk, Library Journal "This excellent book is a canary in the coalmine for those who love athletics at the collegiate level."-Jorge Iber, Sport in American History "The underlying fraud in big-time college athletics is academics. With the most comprehensive accounting, Smith and Willlingham paint an absolutely devastating picture of how so-called student-athletes are shamelessly exploited. . . . Cheated is nothing less than an American tragedy."-Frank Deford, author of The Entitled and senior contributing writer for Sports Illustrated "This book informed me that, as a black athlete and a student, more awareness and information about the universities you attend must be thoroughly analyzed before making a decision about your future. The details of fraudulent education and unprepared black athletes in this book should shame our society. I am a living testimony that this book is the Pandora's box of university secrets and black athlete exploitation. It is a must-read."-Rashad McCants, former NBA player and UNC NCAA Champion "Smith and Willingham's exposE of the corruption at the University of North Carolina reads like a suspense thriller but unfortunately is nonfiction. The authors offer concrete recommendations for college sports reform that should serve as a blueprint for all American universities."-Gerald Gurney, president of the Drake Group and assistant professor of adult and higher education at the University of OklahomaMore details
