I think at its best, sport does bring us together.

I think there are white alumni out there who wouldn't mind having an African American president of their school, but would be reluctant to have an African American coach, because he represents the school so. I think it's just sheer backward racism.

I think one of the most immoral things is college football and basketball, where everybody is making money except the players.

You can tell all you need to about a society from how it treats animals and beaches.

I criticize the NFL in many ways, but I think it's made great strides. I think college basketball, great strides. College football means so much to alumni, doesn't it? It sort of represents the school. It's when you go back; it's at the beginning of the school year.

If you're a white kid growing up and you see a Black player and he's got the name of your college or your town across his chest, that means something.

So much of life, so much of work, is luck.
