University of Miami articles

Wolff's most notable and notorious work was a cover article in Sports Illustrated in the magazine's June 12, 1995 edition, titled "Why the University of Miami Should Drop Football." In it, Wolff wrote an open letter to then University of Miami president Edward T.

In 2011, Wolff wrote a follow-up letter in 2011 to then University of Miami president Donna Shalala following the Nevin Shapiro booster controversy.^[1]

Endpapers: A Family Story of Books, War, Escape, and Home, Wolff's memoir of his father and grandfather Kurt Wolff, and observations drawn from his year living in Berlin, was published in 2021.^[2]
