No doubt, like any sport, when there is a power dynamic of coach/athlete, and the stakes are high, with job security, there are going to be situations that some individuals will cross lines. But to put such a blanket statement "the painful truth behind college athletics....." implies that everyone has this horrible experience, or it is at least the norm, which is just not true. ,
