Admissions

A football program in search of respect. A Greek fraternity on the brink of death. A coach facing the last year of his contract, in need of victories. A high-ranking university official, who will stop at nothing to settle an old score. And a young man looking to start a new life while a celebrated doctor struggles to fit back into his old one. To Justice Kobs, a college scholarship meant more than just playing football. For the highly-recruited 4.0 student and wide receiver, it meant being the first member of his family to attend college. It meant the promise of a better life, the kind that would allow him to shed a childhood spent in City Heights, a blighted, crime-infested area in San Diego. So when tiny, private Holbrooke University in Carly, Mississippi offers him a starting spot on the football team and admittance into its prestigious engineering program, he rejects some of the top football schools in the country to achieve his dream. But Justice becomes a pawn in a university tug-of-war over football and his membership in the tradition-rich Zeta Phi fraternity. While the stature and lifestyle of its members are the envy of campus, the new pledges quickly discover what goes on behind the fraternity wall carries a price that will change their lives forever. A searing look at the secret society of Greek life and the pitfalls of big time college football, Admissions is the story of young ambition. An examination of fatherhood and the pursuit of deeper life experience, Admissions is a narrative of hope, love, and redemption, a thoughtful reflection on finding one's place amongst the best and the brightest while in the company of men.
