At a school where basketball is king, the Villanova football team battles opponents both on and off the field. Low on cash and recruiting power, the Division IAA Wildcats must constantly justify their existence to a prestigious academic institution and the students and alumni who bemoan the teams minor league status. This story of Villanovas 2005 season is an inside account of a football program wading through the political mire to bring glory to a school largely indifferent to its efforts.Through the Wildcats' experience, Tony Moss explores the inner workings of college football, particularly the chasm between Division IA, home of the most visible, successful programs, and Division IAA, where crowds are smaller but competition is just as intense. As alumni and faculty question the cost of funding sixtythree football scholarships and a fulltime coaching staff, Moss leaves us to decide whether the struggle is worth the cost to schools outside the spotlight and whether the game has any inherent value apart from the bottom line.
