technicality but that how they get around the NCAA rules. Nothing leaves the club and they have a liquor license from the state. I can’ wait to see the inside.” Kelly said.
    Donna was surprised, “I thought you had season tickets. Is this your first time in the club?”
    “Yes”, she replied. “I have regular tickets but Coach Norris sent these over last week after I took on one of his special students. He’s not such a bad guy and he has a generous nature when it comes to taking care of the kids on the team. Have you met him?”
    “I’m afraid so”, Do nna said. “Last year I had three of his players close to failing one of my classes. Norris comes busting into my office and reads me the riot act about the history of the university, the winning nature of the program and the disgrace I would be if I didn’t get his players up to par with their grades.”
    Kelly laughed out loud. “Been there, done that. You just have to know how to handle him.”
    “I don’t think I have that particular skill set.” Donna scoffed.
    “We can talk about it some other time, but just consider the pressure he’s under as coach of a major university football program.” Kelly grinned thinking back about her first encounter with the coach. “Once you understand the system things go much easier and you still get to teach the kids. It’s just that you may have to modify the lessons sometimes.”
    “I’ve heard great things about you and the work you do outside with the student athletes. My first year here they told me about Eddie James. He sounded like a real problem. Did you really save the kid’s career?” Donne was truly interested.
    Kelly didn’t want to get into the details of her relationship with Eddie James. “I did what any good educator would do; I took an interest and told him that I wouldn’t allow him to fail. Once he accepted that failure wouldn’t be tolerated, he changed his life, not me.”
    “I don’t know. The staff in the Math and Sciences Department talk about you like your some sort of teaching Goddess. They say that you take on all the hardest cases and every time, you turn them around.” Donna insisted. “Even the men in my department are afraid of most of the student athletes. They don’t try to talk to the jocks let alone teach them. The vast majority of the athletic scholarships stay away from math and science. I guess it’s best but I wish I had some of your backbone.”
    Kelly smiled and as they reached the stadium she handed the gate security agent their tickets. “Well someday maybe I’ll share my secrets with you. For now let’s get up to the club and enjoy the game.”
    They walked the concourse to the elevators which took them up to the exclusive social club. A security guard checked their tickets again before they were permitted to enter the elevator. The doors opened up to a plush surrounding that would have fit into any restaurant in the city. The smell of food hit them as they stepped out and the view of the football field stretched from left to right, a complete panorama of college sports. It was breathtaking at this level.
    A young woman greet ed them, “Welcome to the All-Star Club, ladies. May I see you tickets please?” She smiled, Kelly handed them over for a final review. “Thank you.” She looked them over and seemed surprised, “Oh, which one of you is Professor Shaw?”
    “I am”, Kelly replied. “Is everything alright?”
    “Yes, Ma’am, we were told to expect you. Coach Norris made sure that we knew you were attending. He told us about how valuable you are to the coaching staff. He said that anything you want, we are to get for you. Right this way ladies.” She turned and escorted them to their seats.
    Donna said, “You’re right, maybe I should get to know the coach.”
    “Hush”, Kelly said laughing.
    “Here you are”, she waved a hand at an elaborately decorated table. “The buffet is open as well as the bar. The coach has taken care of
