���I���ll be the biggest fan of Purdue athletics, but it is not my biggest job, it is Morgan���s job. My biggest jobs are elsewhere.��� is no question that a reasonable amount of success is a big plus.��� Gold and Black: You have a theory about how the NCAA can get more ���real.��� Daniels: ���One of my crackpot theories is if Division I athletics got real and had a no hypocrisy rule, and it meant that 40 or 50 really fine players did not pretend to be college students ��� and I won���t name any schools ��� without taking any courses, people would say it would ruin the game. I don���t believe that for one minute. If those guys were all in a genuine minor league program, No. 1, I would go watch the minor league teams and you would see some darn good basketball, and, also, we fans would still pack Mackey Arena and the basketball would still be great. You couldn���t tell because it would be competitive. ���I have never bought that the NCAA had to look the other way, at least that���s how it feels.

I���ve met a lot of our women athletes already, and I���ll tell you there is not one I have met Mitch Daniels, Purdue���s 12th President that is not a good example of a student-athlete. The men are, too, I���m quality of play, if you peeled a couple of guys off the Kentucky team last year, it would still be awesome sure, but the women cannot be beat as examples athleticism by the kids who really were in class or to the rest of the 98 percent of how you can be blue chip in a sport and still every inch of Purdue committed to staying four years in college.��� Gold and Black: You���re a competitive guy. Is academic star.��� j that why you���re so passionate about this? Daniels: ���I���m trying to support student activities of all kinds, but I want to make sure to get to on the iPad Access Included for all pr subscribeint rs!
