How you play the game is for college ball. When you're playing for money, winning is the only thing that matters.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I mean, to win a major, you've got to be a good player and you've got to get your breaks, as well, to win.
It's nice to have the opportunity to play for so much money, but it's nicer to win it.
I worry when athletes are simply used by their universities to produce revenue, to make money for them, nothing to show at the back end. I grew up with a lot of players who had very, very tough lives after the ball started bouncing for them. And that's why I'm going to continue to fight.
There's far more that goes into being a professional athlete than being a college athlete. So many differences that people don't realize. It's not just about playing football and getting paid to do it. There's a lot of things that you have to deal with.
I know the game well. I'm a student of basketball; I know what it takes to win.
When money comes into play then that's all it's about wanting money, who's making the most who can get the most, me, me me... and in the end it screws up the person and the sport.
After a certain point, money is meaningless. It ceases to be the goal. The game is what counts.
You get to a point in your career, I think, it's not even about money. You're secure. You want to win Super Bowls.
Money isn't something I play for. I want to compete. I want to win.
If football taught me anything about business, it is that you win the game one play at a time.
