Title IX [ed]: Guilty Until Proven Innocent (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798318850035)

He played by their rules. The system didn't care.

Carter is a 6'7", 300-pound college football player with a gentle spirit and a relentless drive to succeed. After four grueling years at Mansfield University, where the administration starved the football program and the trainers barely cared, he is ready to move on. With solid grades and a plan to enter the transfer portal, Carter is laser-focused on his future. Then he meets Lucretia Billingsley, an Ivy League sorority girl with a beautiful smile and ambitions of her own, and everything begins to unravel.

What starts as a casual relationship quickly reveals a dangerous mismatch. Lucretia is used to getting everything and everyone she wants. When Carter ends things with a girl he barely knew, his life spirals into six months of bureaucratic hell. Caught in a system designed to punish first and ask questions later, Carter faces the one opponent his size and strength cannot help him fight: an institutional process that presumes guilt. For a young Black man whose parents sacrificed everything to raise him right, the stakes could not be higher.

Title IX [ed]: Guilty Until Proven Innocent is a provocative, unflinching novel that exposes a side of campus life rarely discussed. When the rules meant to protect become weapons, and naivety becomes a crime, who is left to defend the accused? And at what cost does the truth finally surface?
