Ladies and gentlemen, I'll be brief. The issue here is not whether we broke a few rules, or took a few liberties with our "student"-athletes—we did. But you can't hold a whole college football industry responsible for the behavior of a few, sick greedy individuals. For if you do, then shouldn't we blame the whole intercollegiate athletic system? And if the whole intercollegiate athletic system is guilty, then isn't this an indictment of our higher educational institutions in general? I put it to you, Greg: isn't this an indictment of our entire American society? Well, you can do what you you want to us, but we're not going to sit here and listen to you badmouth the United States of America. Gentlemen!
