i.e. a real movie with actors. If well done it could have a sustaining impact as does Rudy. Everyone loves the injured underdog coming back against the odds. It would probably be more about the non-on-the -court happenings than actual basketball.

Baba could start a Go Fund Me project.

It would be a great movie

Knute Rochne, All American (Murray Sperber actually argued that it literally saved college athletics by providing an innocent view of sports to counter a lot of the corruption in college sports. Basically, it was the perfect propaganda film for the NCAA).

Rudy

Does any other school have films like this, let alone two?

BTW, I used to joke that a sequel to Rudy could be a Christy Grady movie (the student manager who suited up during the 1997 Final Four season). We could change that now to make it Kaitlin Cole.
I believe that the University fo Miami has an episode

..for the soundtrack. And Maureen Butler, who is supposed to be a talented pianist, can add some tracks, as well.

It would be a great movie

Forget for a moment that I am a geriatric white guy who can't dribble without pulling a hamstring.

It would be a triumphant star turn and the capstone to my non-existent acting career.

I will make sandwiches for Marina. *

PWK2 stars as Arike. I also think he should write the script and suggest the real plot would be the launching of his (comedic?) acting career as it parallels Arike's basketball/celebrity arc. Perhaps we should look into using "The Disaster Artist" as a model.
