U of A Against Polkey (2011)

Shawntinice Polk single-handedly took the University of Arizona women's basketball team to a Pac-10 championship and national ranking. When she collapsed and died suddenly, school officials kept medical information from the family and spun the story out of the limelight. Risking his own job as a television reporter, Len Johnson investigated the death and came up with a simple conclusion: The University of Arizona lied. The warning signs of Polkey's huge blood clot were not only evident, but obvious. U of A Against Polkey chronicles five years of one man's persistence to bring the school to justice. It also sheds light on the power brokers behind the money machine of college athletics and their manipulation of trusting, talented young people.
