One of my impulses in writing is to take people's crazy behavior and try to make order of what sometimes feels chaotic in the past.

Obviously, we didn't have the intelligence we needed in that particular instance. In some sense, those countries that pursue weapons of mass destruction in secret also learned an important lesson - that there are risks of that kind of behavior and that kind of activity.

Obviously we would like to see those statistics higher. But this is a process that the NCAA member institutions are going through to change behavior and essentially ensure the student athletes, coaches and everyone involved in collegiate athletics understands that academic achievement and academic performance is just as important as athletic performance.

Kids know when you are talking at them, when you're not really invested in conversation with them, that's when the attention getting behavior starts.
