Now the kids are portrayed as dirty when they talk to an agent, a shoe guy, some hanger-on. Well, it's only natural that people are circling them - there are millions of dollars involved.

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

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

In terms of my work with Nike, obviously signing Michael Jordan to a $500,000 contract in 1984 set a new precedent for the business side of the game.

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

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

Very unfairly, there's a negative image of the kid, which really stems from the greed and selfishness of the NBA and NCAA. They're forcing these kids to go to school.

The best way to show that a stick is crooked is not to argue about it or to spend time denouncing it, but to lay a straight stick alongside it

You think this is living? This is eating, nothing else.

I love hearing my audience breathe.

Other kids would take their parents to the toy store and I'd take my mom to the record store.

It is destiny phrase of the weak human heart! 'It is destiny' dark apology for every error! The strong and virtuous admit no destiny

To assault the total culture totally is to be free to use all the fruits of mankind's wisdom and experience without the rotten structure in which these glories are encased and encrusted.

Modern education is like being taken to the world's greatest restaurant & being forced to eat the menu.

People will know you for whatever they want to know you for.

Fascism will come to America wrapped in a flag.

The will of God is eternal because He does not begin to will what He did not will before, nor cease to will what He willed before.
