“On a given day, a given circumstance, you think you have a limit. And you then go for this limit and you touch this limit, and you think, ‘Okay, this is the limit’. And so you touch this limit, something happens and you suddenly can go a little bit further. With your mind power, your determination, your instinct, and the experience as well, you can fly very high.”

"Consumer advocate Ralph Nader is calling for the elimination of college athletic scholarships, saying the move is necessary to 'de-professionalize' college athletes." Uh, what? →

I disagree… I think there need to be serious reforms to the NCAA, but completely abolishing athletic scholarships might be overdoing it a tick.
My favorite move was Vanderbilt dismantling their athletic department… they still compete at a D1 level, in the SEC no less, but school athletics are handled by the student life department. In essence, football has to share time with every other student group for attention. (Would be interesting to see Steve Hensley handling Marshall athletics…)
