People will always go to games. And not just Duke versus North Carolina. Even Appalachian State against Chatworth.

The NCAA wants to control the images; they say they own your image forever. If you look through this façade, it's crazy.

Paternalistic is a very good word. They think they have to look out for these guys? Don't worry about it. Why? Because of history. Kevin Garnett, Tracy McGrady, LeBron James, Kobe Bryant. They did okay.

I was starting out in the business, there was only one path to playing professionally - graduate, or go four years. With the creation of the ABA [American Basketball Association] in the early 1970s, the sanctity of having to go to college was broken. The ABA took anyone, starting with Spencer Haywood.

Beginning in 1978, Nike paid coaches to put their shoes on the team.

Kobe [Bryant] had the biggest contract for a high school kid. He was the first one to get more than a million a year.

What would be wrong with letting a kid go pro, and if it doesn't work out he can come back to college? What's the harm in that? The reason is the word "amateurism." The NCAA has to protect colleges' tax exemption.
