About Blue Chips

Pete Bell, a respected college basketball coach, finds his program spiraling downwards due to mounting losses and an inability to recruit top talent. In a world where boosters secretly offer financial incentives to promising athletes, Bell faces immense pressure from all sides. The allure of securing future stars through illicit means becomes increasingly tempting, forcing him to confront his own moral code and the corrupting influence of the win-at-all-costs mentality that pervades college sports. Ultimately, he will have to decide if compromising his values is worth the price of success.

How to stream with ExpressVPN

A VPN (Virtual Private Network) is an app that encrypts your internet connection and masks your IP address, allowing you to stream securely and bypass restrictions.

Why Use a VPN for Streaming?

- Increase Privacy: A VPN protects your data on non-secure public Wi-Fi networks by creating an encrypted tunnel, safeguarding your personal information while you stream.
