Rodbelt '83

By David R. Broadie

In 1983, a broken banner rod in a boring Iowa study hall sparked an unlikely empire. Pudge and his four "idiot" friends-the Founders-turned a crude fantasy league into a global apparel juggernaut. From selling hoodies out of a van at Kinnick Stadium to launching a signature sneaker for NBA star Spike Meyer, Rodbelt '83 became a small-town legend.

But success breeds betrayal. Decades later, with a massive IPO looming, Pudge finds himself scrubbed from the company's history. Facing a rigged legal war, he must fight to reclaim his 20% stake.

Rodbelt '83 is a witty, nostalgic journey through small-town grit and high-stakes greed.
