Burying Your Head In The Sand
Myles Brand, newly elected president of the National Collegiate Athletics Association: "College sports is not a business. It's about educating young men and women in the field and in the classroom."
(Side note: Brand makes over $750,000 a year, has a private plane, and the NCAA recently recieved $6 BILLION from CBS to broadcast the yearly basketball tournament.)
Not Burying Your Head In The Sand
Bobby Knight, basketball coach at Texas Tech: "If it isn't a business, then General Motors is a charity. College sports has turned into one of the biggest businesses in the whole sports industry. Sports just doesn't provide entertainment. It provides thousands and thousands of jobs. Those salaries have to be paid for. It takes people who are extremely good business people to run a college athletic program."
