Winner of the 2011 Edgar Allan Poe Award for Best Fact Crime Book


Scoreboard, Baby: A Story of College Football, Crime, and Complicity:
Scoreboard, Baby exposes the rot beneath a celebrated season -- and the ruins left behind, showing how a community’s blind embrace of a football team compromised judges, prosecutors, police agencies, a proud university and the media.

Campus Read:
The University of Wisconsin-Platteville has chosen Scoreboard, Baby as its Campus Read for fall 2013. Freshmen will read and discuss the book, and Ken Armstrong will visit the campus on Oct. 10 for a presentation and Q&A.

“The most harrowing book I have ever read about college sports.”
–Buzz Bissinger, author of Friday Night Lights
