It is one thing to play for your university. It is another to play for your country.

Class is more important than a game.

Any institution becomes a community - whether it's a high school or a boarding school or a publishing company or a small town where everybody knows certain things about people.

An institution is beyond any individual. It breathes and lives on its own and always will.

There's always something special when the service academies play each other that's not in any other game. This is not a regular game, and everyone involved knows that.

I'm kind of a builder of institutions. I think I've got some ability to look at what's out here, look at a playing field, and identify gaps and niches.

There are many museums dedicated to technology, artistic endeavors, music, and that sort of thing. From that perspective, I think games really do have a place as a kind of collaborative art or a synthesis of all these various aspects into a whole, and that, in itself, can be perceived as art.

College football is the only game in the country, of any kind, that the college game is longer than the pro game.

Academics often discount the value of top-rated sports programs in helping to develop a campus life and in contributing to the overall success of a college or university. Like it or not, the sports programs a college or university has are the front page of that university.

There's a difference between fair game and playing games.
