    I just wanna know who the hell would want to give Danny Wuerffel $7,000 to speak?

    Apparently they are having a special for Sam Wyche to come to your school and talk (only $6,500!!!).

    Joe Paterno is at $50,000.

    The real "Rudy" is asking $20,000.

    Wonder how much Phil Jackson is charging, if Pat Riley is getting $60,000.

    Bob Costas $60,000.


    When these people do speak it is memorable tho. Even if they don't say anything important. Probably a pretty good deal if you think about 12,000 people hearing what they have to say. Ben and Jerry give free ice cream. Although I do remember the lesser motivational speakers in highschool "I lost this arm drinking and driving" type stuff too.

    Whose Marty Blake and why is he the "Foremost Authority on College Basketball"?

    Plus what happened to the Rulon Gardner's description? Shouldn't they have "Beat Russian bio-engineering experiment in greco-roman wrestling."

    than . . .the GOOD AUTHORITY on College Basketball

    An NBA website and Marty Blake isn't well known...

    He's the head of scouting for the league. He's been a GM, scout, and pretty much been in charge of running the draft from the league perspective (the camps, advising prospects on their chances of getting drafted, etc.) for years.
