Blue Chippers: The Next Man Up
Blue Chippers is a feature length documentary that dives deep into the world of college football recruitment, focusing specifically on the paths of four highly touted highschool players from rural Louisiana as they make a decision that will continue to reverberate throughout their lives long after they hang up their cleats. The film collides with the Supreme Court decision to permit Name, Image and Likeness legislation, allowing college athletes to sign endorsement deals, which caused a tectonic shift in how the NCAA operates.
