BRAN’S HOME TURF SYNOPSIS

Cassidy is the new president of a small college. You know the old saying — she’s not in Boston anymore. She’s doing wild things like setting up Food Truck Friday. People love her! But then comes the bad news… the budget is in worse shape than she thought, and the board is suggesting cutting the arts. Over Cassidy’s dead body.

The hits keep coming — a pipe bursts in one of the dorms. Everything is going wrong, and it only gets worse when she bumps into a guy and her PSL goes all over her delightful jacket. She’s even more frazzled when she realizes that he’s hot.

She gets to the meeting and guess who’s there? Coffee guy. It’s Coach Logan, and he’s not pleased to hear how she “solved” the housing situation. His football squad lives in that dorm, and her plan is to have them stay at another college a couple towns over and shuttle them in. He says, “I have a better idea — the president’s house.” It’s massive, and it’s just Cassidy living there. She reluctantly agrees and immediately regrets it when their golf cart breaks a flower pot.

The first morning is rough — they wake her up at 6 a.m. with practice out back, leave her no hot water, and use all the oat milk. It’s a mess. They agree to lay down some new guidelines for the players. But after another screw-up that messes up a meeting with a potential big donor, Logan talks to the players, and they surprise Cassidy with dinner and an apology.

Cassidy begins to learn that being part of a team isn’t all bad — especially after promising her big donor that she’ll bring back the alumni formal. Then, after realizing the donor is a huge football fan, she comes up with a plan that’ll win him over and help the arts — build a new football stadium.

Cassidy starts to enjoy having the boys around and, let’s be honest, is really starting to enjoy Logan. They end up slow dancing and kissinggggg.

But things take a turn when Logan agrees to help her with the presentation to the big donor — and then shows up late. The donor backs out because the proposal lacked key details, and Logan was the one who had them. When he finally arrives, he explains he was at a ceremony for his dad, and on the way out, the head coach at Buckeye State offered him an assistant gig.

The boys move back to their dorm now that the pipe’s fixed, and Cassidy’s house suddenly feels very empty. Before the next game, the players demand that Cassidy give their pump-up speech. Afterwards, Logan tells her he’s not going anywhere.

After the game, the big donor shows up again. He says the coach called him, persuaded him to come, and he’s looked over the full proposal. He tells Cassidy and Logan they make a great team — and he’s in.

The movie ends with Cassidy telling Logan that the team’s going to do family dinner at her place every Sunday — and she wants him there, but is also totally down to hang out one-on-one anytime. They kiss, and everyone cheers.
