A Duke-Kentucky Bridge?

This is a great treatise on the intrigue surrounding the marketing of collegiate sports (particularly basketball) in America.

Nick Nolte and Shaq are great casting choices, and the film makes me feel invited to think about the relevance of social dialogue surrounding symbolic NCAA men's basketball games where marketing takes a back seat to the sheer delight of the audience.

Maybe capitalism ain't all that bad...
