Billion dollar ball

Yesterday we met with the author of "Billion -dollar Ball", by Gilbert Gaul. he came a gave a great presentation on his book and all of the research that he did to find it, all of the interviews that he had with different colleges, and how college athletic programs made their money. He talked about how hard it was to get interviews with some of the presidents of the colleges because they were worried about their and the schools image. He also talked about how college coaches made way more money than any of the professors and even the president of the college. He took trips around the world and sat ion on many different press conferences. What was ironic to me was the fact that he had never taken a journalism course yet he was able to write a book as well as this one. Also he claimed that he wasn't a sports fan he just like the watch the game and add up the numbers.
