“Schooled: The Price of College Sports” offers an in-depth exploration of the business, history, and culture surrounding major college football and basketball in the United States. This film is based on “The Cartel” by Taylor Branch, a Pulitzer Prize-winning civil rights scholar, and his October 2011 article in The Atlantic, titled “The Shame of College Sports.” “Schooled” delivers a powerful critique of the NCAA’s treatment of its athletes and the concept of amateurism in college sports. Through a blend of interviews, archival material, and verité footage, it reveals how college sports evolved into a billion-dollar industry, largely at the expense of athletes who are denied many rights.
