Major American college athletics are a big-time business. So-called student athletes are highly paid pseudo-professionals who entertain the nation and create millions of dollars in revenue. The university boosters who pay them both under and over the table are unofficial owners who tell the university presidents and their coaches what to do. Meanwhile, the media feeds the fansA[a¬a[ voracious appetites for more. The NCAA, the official governing body, does not really govern at all. Instead, a secret, all-powerful, all-pervasive organization controls every facet of big-time college sports. On occasion, individuals have accidentally stumbled on the truth and become faced with a decision. Pay reverence to The System and prosper. Defy it and pay the dire consequences. Leonard Bias was chosen first in the NBA draft by the Boston Celtics. On the night of his greatest triumph, he died of a self-induced drug overdose. Or so thought the world, but Jojo Johnson, a former college all-American basketball player, knows differently. In hiding in fear of his life, he is discovered by The System, and so begins his impossible attempt to destroy The System and all it represents. This novel is a continuation of The Venturi Principle: Part I which appeared in 2007.
