I'd say they're just good athletes. Them and Duckworth, too.

I'm not in a position to say that all athletes are clean. I'm not naive enough to say that. But to say that they're all guilty or imply that they're all guilty of doping is unfair.

Brad is a perfect fit for our program. When he gets here he'll be surrounded by athletes who have basically the same commitment toward excellence. Maybe they're putting their lives on hold, but they're also finding out how good they can be. You just never know where that can take you.

When I was playing I never wished I was doing anything else. I think being a professional athlete is the finest thing a man can do.

I like to see the student athletes engage in a game like baseball. Especially here where they don't even get a scholarship or anything. They play for the love of the game.

I'd say it's about 20 percent who are athletes and 80 percent students who see this as a good opportunity to compete. To some, this is like their sport.
