The way I look at it, there were lots of underground shows, shows on Indian reservations, where the athletes weren't getting proper medical attention. The sport has grown to the point where we need to make sure things are on the up and up.

She better be ready. Real athletes play hurt.

What can we do? It's not going to stop us from looking for work. We gotta eat.

When I look at all these professional athletes when they are 50 or 45 years old, they have knees that don't work at all, shoulders that don't work, back problems, and I think that that's a much more common occurrence than a guy who is 40 or 50 who has serious problems because of some steroid he was taking when he was 20.

Try not to laugh when someone says these are the world's greatest athletes, despite a paucity of blacks that makes the games look like a GOP convention.

The Pac-10 looks forward to participating in the Hawaii Bowl. Hawaii is a wonderful destination for our student-athletes and our fans and Hawaii has an affinity with the West Coast that makes this a great fit for the Pac-10.
