There have never been any meaningful drivers training regulations ever for truckers.

I think it's inexcusable we don't do a better job of training. The average turnover rate is something like 136 percent, so they actually lose more drivers than they're able to hire.

Of course, the licensing process is designed to simply slide as many people through with a minimum of experience and quality.

What's the rush? This is a 75-year commitment and we're going to give it serious discussion in less than 75 days?

I think we got a group with really good size and athleticism. These are big guys who can move. They've all got quick feet and are fairly agile.

No question the success and bowl exposure we've gotten has taken us to another level. The bar is set higher and we are going after better players. Four years ago, we couldn't go head-to-head with Rice and New Mexico for a recruit.
