Transfer U. Mike Conklin

Transfer U.: Bogus scholarships, China, provincial faculty, Oklahoma earthquake, immigration, cowboys, and a motorcycle gang. It's a mix of academia and basketball in America like you've never seen. One team, from a sleepy Midwestern college named for the most inconsequential president in U. S. history, features an all-Chinese lineup concerned over lack of library time. The other, from a school better known for a rodeo program, includes players from a Texas prison, U. S. Special Forces, East LA, St. Louis YMCA, and a 7-footer discovered by its scheming coach in a McDonald's line in Murdo, S. D. It's East vs. West with showdowns in Chicago, on and off the court, and a national title at stake.
