I keep hearing the question, 'Are we going to survive?'

They operate in a pressure-packed world and not going to New York exacerbates the situation.

We are very excited for our teams that have been invited to the NCAA Championship, but we are disappointed that Cincinnati was not included. They had some quality wins inside and outside the conference.

Everybody keeps telling me we're too big. We're all too big. We're just bigger than others.

The only way this thing won't survive, ... is if these coaches can't coach and recruit, and if I screw up. They ain't going to screw up, because this league has always been successful because of our basketball coaches.

What I saw with my kids was consistent with what I had been hearing, ... I looked around at local (Washington, D.C., driving) schools ... and could not find one that anyone would tell me was a great school.
