Description

Big Time is not just a novel; it's a mirror to the distorted reality of modern American college campuses. Coors State University, once a beacon of academia, now shadows under the immense weight of sports fanaticism and corporate takeover. The campus has been sold piece by piece to a beer company, turning professors into stadium workers and scholars into bystanders in their own institution. Amidst this chaos rises an unlikely hero, Layla Sillimon, a 38-year-old poet plunged into a world where sports eclipse education. Layla's arrival at Coors State marks the beginning of an extraordinary journey. Her path crosses with two history professors whose ideals echo the spirit of the 1960s campus protests. As the trio embarks on a mission to reclaim their university from the jaws of commercialized sports, they enlist the help of two football stars, opening the doors to unexpected alliances and outcomes. Their fight against the establishment leads to a series of events that are as unpredictable as they are enlightening. Big Time is not just a story; it's a wake-up call, a testament to the power of conviction, and a tribute to those who dare to challenge the status quo. This is a story that will resonate long after the final page is turned.
