"The way I grew up playing, and the way most Americans have grown up, is that you hit the ball up in the air and then it stops where it lands."

I worry when athletes are simply used by their universities to produce revenue, to make money for them, nothing to show at the back end. I grew up with a lot of players who had very, very tough lives after the ball started bouncing for them. And that's why I'm going to continue to fight.
