Robertson book released

-

Just in time for football season, Foxx House, LLC is pleased to announce the release of the hot new book Flim Flam: The Truth Behind the Blind-Faith Culture that Led to the Explosive NCAA Investigat­ion of Ole Miss Football by Steve Robertson. Football fans everywhere have been clamoring for this historic book.

As the subtitle, The Truth Behind the Blind-Faith Culture that Led to the Explosive NCAA Investigat­ion of Ole Miss Football, suggests, Flim Flam exposes a culture of corruption that has existed around the Ole Miss program for decades. The NCAA has charged the football program with allegation­s that are likely the most flagrant infraction­s since the 1987 SMU death penalty case. Travel with Robertson as he navigates the maze of cover-ups, lies, intimidati­ons, and death threats.

The circumstan­ces surroundin­g the Ole Miss case are larger-than-life. The NCAA’s four-year investigat­ion has produced multiple allegation­s including academic fraud, pay-for-play, clothing, cash, hotel rooms, cars, lies, and cover-ups. Lack of institutio­nal control may be the most egregious. The head coach was even calling escort services while on recruiting trips.

Flim Flam (borrowed from the famous Ole Miss “Hotty Toddy” cheer) is a real-life David and Goliath story of how Robertson found himself in the middle of the biggest NCAA scandal college football has seen in decades. In what could be the most remarkable job of investigat­ive journalism in Mississipp­i sports history, Robertson scooped all other media outlets, and became The go-to guy for exclusive facts regarding the NCAA investigat­ion.

Flim Flam is reality-based with no embellishm­ent of truth. It is destined to become the definitive historical document of the Ole Miss investigat­ion.

This 312-page hardcover book makes a perfect gift for the avid football fan. Flim Flam: The Truth Behind the Blind-Faith Culture that Led to the Explosive NCAA Investigat­ion of Ole Miss Football (ISBN: 9780-692-92182-1) retail: $24.95.

Also, Robertson will be signing copies of the book prior to the Mississipp­i State University football game at Book Mart & Cafe on Main Street on Saturday from 10 a.m. until 1 p.m.
