Jessica Luther is one of the foremost experts on sexual assault and football. This book is based on exhaustive research on all documented cases of sexual assault allegations against college football players.
Luther is a fellow in the Texas Program in Sports and Media at the University of Texas and a member of the Association for Women in Sports Media.
