Alexander Ludwig ("Hunger Games") stars in the pulse-pumping film "National Champions" as Emmit. He and a teammate possess the intestinal fortitude to pull off perhaps the boldest move in collegiate sports history: after leading the team to the national championship, they boycott the contest on the eve of the title game. Their gripe is this: if the NCAA doesn't pay them, they won't play in the game.

Ludwig explains to rolling out the excitement of starring in a film that is so culturally relevant as paying collegiate athletes.
