The perception that Kentucky is down, therefore the league is down, is very true because they are the flagship program in the SEC.

David Stern

The perception problem was there, and therefore it was real, ... We were focusing on that issue even before the brawl, but it certainly was an exclamation point in terms of perceptions of NBA players. We've got to do a better job of both acknowledging it and working to correct it.

We've always wanted to keep him in the top five in the country, where he belongs.

Cindy Cook

There is no question that music continues to play a pivotal role in video games and video games continue to play a pivotal role in promoting new artists to a wide audience.
