Description
Welcome to Coors State University, a cash-strapped college that sold naming rights, academic programs, and, ultimately, its soul to a beer company just to keep the lights on. At Coors, the engineering professors are expanding the stadium, criminal justice faculty are the campus cops, and the history profs sell popcorn at concession stands. It's the world turned upside down--yet not very far from the truth at today's big state schools. Big Time is--ruefully and hilariously--a novel for Our Time.

Critical Reviews
Praise for Big Time:
"Big Time is a big-time funny book. Rus Bradburd has chosen the perfect target for satire and delivered a sharp, clean hit." --Jonathan Eig, author of King: a Life and Ali: a Life
"Rus Bradburd is right on time with this takedown of college sports money mania at American universities. Big Time is provocative, thought-provoking, and hilarious." --Jesse Washington, ESPN - Andscape, co-author of I Came As a Shadow
"Big Time is a subversive, sidesplitting, screwball of a novel. More important, it's a commentary on the role of sports on our college campuses and an examination of what that means for American society today." --Arne Duncan, former U.S. Secretary of Education, author of How Schools Work
