As another reviewer pointed out already the editing is noisy. They have like 30 interviews they splice together. Often one guy mentions a name and then they cut to 4 other guys mentioning the name too. Especially at the start this pace is unrelenting. You really don't know what 30 for 30 will give you. At times the pace is extremely slow and boring like in the Vick episode. At other times they over-edit the hell out of the episode making it noisy. This is at least way more engaging and fun, but it's obnoxious.
The episode is about SMU university and how they paid college football players. As this is not allowed in their league they were kicked out for a year via a "death penalty" punishment. This happened short after they had 2 seasons as the best team in the country. Post that they tried to rebuild, but since they refused to even offer tickets to players no good player wanted to go there. So they rebuild with a team of short guys who were high school quality players. It took them 20 years of terrible football to finally get to a higher level right as this doc was made. Today they still seem to be going strong and have a good program.
Frankly not paying players for destroying their bodies is cruel. I support SMU and anyone else helping out poor kids needing some cash to get by. Some of them even had unemployed parents. It's disgusting that a player can give 100% and get injured for life and then not make a penny from having given his all when the university and system is making millions from him. It's a billion dollar industry where the people actually producing the product are not paid. Kinda mind-boggling. And they even punish players by shutting down programs that pay them and give them a free education. It's a very interesting story, but the format is below par. Still worth a watch for sure because this is very interesting.
