Seattle Times reporters Ken Armstrong and Ken Perry won the George Polk Award and the Michael Kelly Award—two of journalism's highest honors—for their investigative work on troubled parts of the 2000 University of Washington Husky football program. The report then received national headlines, and now sees larger, more in-depth form as Scoreboard, Baby: A Story of College Football, Crime, and Complicity (University of Nebraska Press). "The great fraud of 'student-athletes,' higher education, and big-time football has never been detailed better than in Scoreboard, Baby ... Theirs is a vivid, cautionary tale that, sadly, plays out in so many college athletic departments." - Frank Deford. "The most harrowing book I have ever read about college sports." - Buzz Bissinger.
