I know I'm going to a school that is eager to reach a high level again, and I think they're getting a good football player.

I sent them some pictures of the damage. I told them we had 250 girls that wanted to play ball this year. Pretty soon, they started telling the rest of their community about us.

I think it's going to help us intellectually. I think it brings a prominence to the university. We're going to get more applications and some of them are going to be real good students.

I think people (at Butler) put out the word that I was going to Pittsburgh, and those other schools just figured it was a done deal. But I haven't talked to Pittsburgh more than a few times in the last two years. I really don't think those people really thought I was going to make it out of here (academically).
