Synopsis

The Scapegoat tells the story of a highly talented college football coach silenced by legal constraints. Unable to defend himself, he watches as a corporation and a conference and the media define a storyline and blame him for the “off-field” behavior of his players. He is banished from the thing he enjoys the most in life – coaching football. Will anyone take time to find out what really happened? Will anyone come along to speak on behalf of the coach? Is the scapegoat destined to remain in the wilderness forever?

About this title

About the Author

Being a defendant in a major lawsuit, accused of things that were untrue, Lane Alpert knows the challenges of being vindicated. When Baylor University separated ways with their head coach, Art Briles, the strategy seemed wrong. Lane spent 15 months, over 375 hours, researching all the events that surrounded the "scandal". The research included studying public articles, broadcasts, lawsuits and responses, judges' opinions, state senate proposals, police reports, university announcements, conference minutes, conference bi-laws, twitter feeds, message board posts, college football books and youtube uploads. The author discovered that the media had no interest in uncovering and reporting the facts from all sides. There was a storyline that had to be followed. But why? The author hopes The Scapegoat will inspire its readers to question situations that seem wrong and search diligently for truth
