I was the youngest of seven kids and I would not have been able to go to college without an athletic scholarship.

I wouldn't have gone to a Division I school if I didn't have scholarship help. We couldn't afford it.

Elite colleges like Stanford are extremely inaccessible. They're failing in their mission to provide access.

I didn't get an athletics scholarship at a major school.

You have to have a lot of money to go to college. It's not cheap.

It is virtually impossible to compete in today's global economy without a college degree.

If I didn't have a scholarship to go to the University of Florida or any school, I probably would have considered the military because my family could not afford to send me to college.

I wanted to go to medical school. But, I never got a college scholarship.

My parents didn't know anything about collegiate scholarships, so they had accepted the national team training stipend, the monthly stipend that I received after making the national team, so I was ineligible for NCAA eligibility anyway.

I wanted to play football all my life, and when I got accepted to Florida State, it was academically - it wasn't for any kind of scholarship. I kind of sat down and said, 'I'm not going to make it to the NFL. I'm not the size nor the skill.'
