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