Alexander Wolff
Alexander Wolff is a writer for Sports Illustrated and former owner of the Vermont Frost Heaves of the Premier Basketball League.
He has written several books about basketball, among them Big Game, Small World, a look at basketball around the world. His most notable and notorious work was a feature article in Sports Illustrated from June 12, 1995, entitled "Why the University of Miami should drop football". In it, Wolff wrote an open letter to then-president Tad Foote claiming that the Hurricanes were a "disease" that had ruined the school's image and needed to be at least temporarily shut down. Wolff wrote a follow up letter in 2011 to the then-current UM president, Donna Shalala, following the Nevin Shapiro booster controversy.
