Their athleticism is what makes them so good. They are outstanding athletes, but they are not a better team than we are.

I'm always going to counsel and advise student-athletes in their best interest. Right now, Richard is in a position where he is expected to go on the first day of the draft, and he believes he's ready to start making a living in the NFL. I can't argue with that.

I will not support testing of drivers and athletes. I support providing education to our youth regarding drug and alcohol use.

We old athletes carry the disfigurements and markings of contests remembered only by us and no one else. Nothing is more lost than a forgotten game.

In this culture, where entertainers and athletes wield such power, it seems only right to me that they try to make their influence a good one.

Coaching is the great passion of my life, and the job to me has always been an opportunity to work with our student athletes and help them discover what they want.
