President Bush delivers a speech about his vision for the George W. Bush Presidential Library and Museum. All five living presidents were in attendance Thursday morning for the dedication ceremony on SMU campus.

SMU takes world stage

JULIE FANCHER Assignments Desk Editor jfancher@smu.edu April 25, 2013 will go down in the books as one of the most significant days of SMU’s first century, as all eyes were on SMU for the dedication of the George W. Bush Presidential Library and Museum.

The audience included five living presidents who were on campus to help celebrate this dedication, in addition to the rest of the Bush family, heads of state and local and national leaders, such as New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie and Speaker of the

House John Boehner.

SMU students, staff and faculty were scattered within the political leaders to be a part of this historical day.

“It was a fantastic, truly amazing experience to come here. To get this close to five presidents is truly amazing, and I think it will be great for our school,” sophomore Matt Montsinger said.

As guests slowly trickled in through the heavily secured check points, many could be seen wearing silver “W” pins, which were given to honor those who donated more than $1 million to the Bush Foundation.

Troy Aikman, former quarterback of the Dallas Cowboys said, “it’s exciting to be here,” as he filed into his seat.

Former members of President Bush’s administration were present, such as former Chiefs of Staff Andrew Card and Joshua Bolten who spoke to a panel of SMU students Wednesday.

Just a little after 9:30 a.m. the ceremony began with words from SMU President R. Gerald Turner.

After Turner’s daughter sang “God Bless America,” former Vice President Dick Cheney took the stage, shortly followed by the daughters of former Presidents

Johnson and Nixon.

They were then joined on stage by the current and former First Ladies, Michelle Obama, Laura Bush, Hillary Clinton, Barbara Bush and Rosalynn Carter.

Athough it is common for all former presidents and their wives to attend presidential library dedications, Nancy Reagan chose not to attend citing health issues.

After a brief pause, the five presidents took the stage to a standing ovation.

As everyone took their seats, Laura Bush started the festivities.

She described how the center is “designed to present the past and

activism

“Let’s prevent the next war!”

“Arrest Bush now!” and “Abuse of power!” were only some of the messages written on the black poster boards of The People’s Response protest group Thursday morning.

TPR aims to advocate accountability of government officials and seeks to raise public awareness of matters of injustice.

TPR gathered at the Expressway Tower at 7 a.m. with stake signs and flags to show their disapproval of the George W. Bush Presidential Center. Most of them wore black and some had white, somber masks on.

“We are fundamentally rotten…

This culture of murder must be brought to a halt if we are to survive,” said 50 year-old Marjorie Steakley, an SMU alumna.

“I’m offended, I’m embarrassed to be an alumna of SMU because of this,” she added. Steakley graduated from SMU in 1986 with a double major in music and biology.

Steakley says that what offends her the most is the idea of SMU dedicating a building to a “criminal against humanity.”

Along with all the other members of The People’s Response, she believes Bush was responsible

for the tragedy of 9/11 and the deaths of many innocent people in the wars of Iraq.

“My biggest worry is that the center will be used for formulating the war the way that they did it for Iraq,” said Bijan Abadi.

Abadi is from Iran and has been living in the U.S. for 38 years. He carried a big yellow sign that read “Indict Bush now.”

The group had a series of speakers on a small stage, each describing a way in which they were personally and negatively impacted by the decisions Bush made during his presidency.

They cheered each other on and demanded justice. A member of the group wore a giant rubber mask with Bush’s face on it.

When all the speakers were finished the group handcuffed the member with the mask on, and walked around with him at the front of the line.

“This is the best example of what America should be all about,” said SMU human rights professor Rick Halperin about the protestors speaking out.

Halperin said he was mainly there to take photos to be able to show his future students when this event becomes a piece of history.

He also added that he believes it is an honor to have the Bush Center at SMU as it will be a great resource for all the students.

more emotional moments of the ceremony as he congratulated his son.

“This is very special for Barbara and me,” said President H.W. Bush.

As he took his seat and jokingly asked his son if he had spoke too long, George W. Bush cracked a smile.

As H.W. rose out of his wheelchair, with the assistance of Barbara and their son, the crowd once again rose for a standing ovation.

She also praised her husband and his work during his eight years as president.

“Throughout this center, I am reminded of my husband,” said Laura Bush. “My George is a man who when someone needs hand, offers them his arms.”

Shortly after Laura’s speech, President Jimmy Carter and President George H.W. Bush took the stage to give short, heartfelt speeches.

As President George H.W., 88, took the stage in his wheelchair, the crowd greeted him with a standing ovation.

Block Party celebrates George W. Bush Library Marissa budzynski Staff Writer mbudzynski@smu.edu The celebrations for the opening of the George W. Bush Presidential Center culminated with the SMU Boulevard Block Party Thursday evening. From 5-9 p.m. both students and local residents gathered in the SMU intramural fields, adjacent to the new Bush Center, to enjoy food and live music.

“Since not many students could attend the dedication, this is a great way for students to celebrate the opening of the

new library,” sophomore Corey Diener said.

The event featured performances by The Southern Gentlemen, The Belle Tones and reprisals of two popular sing-song acts from BYX/Chi Omega and BME/Gamma Phi Beta.

“I think that one thing that is most exciting about this event is that all aspects of campus are coming together as one,” Student Body President, Alex Mace said.

The headliner of the event was SMU alum and country music artist Jack Ingram. Ingram played

President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama applaud as George W. Bush delivers a speech Thursday morning at the dedication of the George W. Bush Presidential Library.

First Lady Laura Bush, an SMU alumna, played a large role in the design and programming of the presidential center.

President George W. Bush speaks about his vision for he future. “I dedicate this library with an unshakeable faith in the future of our country,” Bush said. He and former First Lady Laura Bush are now grandparents.

President Bill Clinton described himself as the “black sheep” of the Bush family in his remarks at the dedication ceremony.

Former Secretary of State Condoleeza Rice was the first speaker at the dedication.

President Jimmy Carter praised George W. Bush’s initiatives in Africa, specifically the Sudan peace treaty in 2005.

with the Bush family calling himself “the black sheep of the family.”

While he discussed their relationship, Clinton said, “We are here to celebrate a country we all love.”

Despite their differences, President Obama took the stage last to commend and congratulate President Bush, one of the select members of “the world’s most exclusive club.”

“We’re more than a club, we’re a support group. The last time we were together was before I took office, and I really needed that,” President Obama said.

After thanking President Bush for his service, the two men embraced and the crowd rose yet again for a standing ovation.

Finally as the man of the hour took the stage, the crowd stayed standing.

“Happy days,” President Bush said as he greeted the audience.

As he thanked his many friends for being with him on, he made sure to thank President R. Gerald Turner and the faculty and students of SMU. Bush called the student body “awesome.”

The left side of the audience, filled with SMU students, erupted into cheers.

“I’m retired from politics, happily so I must add, but not from public service,” President Bush said as he concluded his speech.

“It’s an honor of a lifetime to lead a country as brave and as noble as the United States,” President Bush said.

“Whatever challenges come before us, I will always believe our nation’s best days lie ahead.”

As this historic day has come to a close, SMU students, staff and faculty will be treated to a special viewing of the Bush Center on April 29, with the public opening happening May 1.

an hour-long set.

“Keeping with the theme of SMU talent, we were excited to have an SMU alumni come back to campus and play for such a big event,” Program Council Speakers Chair Laura Sullivan said.

Popular food trucks lined the perimeter of the intramural fields to offer refreshments to attendees.

Students received coupons to exchange for food with each Block Party ticket they reserved, making the evening both fun and affordable.

The event concluded with the lighting Freedom Hall. For many students, this was the first opportunity to properly welcome the President and his new center to campus.

“Having President and Mrs. Bush here tonight is a special opportunity for students not only to celebrate the opening of the Bush Library, but to celebrate the start of another great era on campus as well,” student trustee John Oakes, said.

Four of SMU’s musical groups performed Thursday at the Bush Center dedication—Southern Gentlemen, Belle Tones, Voices of Inspiration and the Meadows Chorale.

With guests of the dedication arriving as early as four hours ahead of the ceremony’s start, performances began with Southern Gentlemen and moved to the others, providing entertainment that embodied much of SMU’s commitment to excellence.

Maya Jones, a member Voices of Inspiration, said she was very honored for the chance to share the ensemble’s work.

Brittany Levingston, another member of Voices of Inspiration, said “it was surreal because you couldn’t see the presidents but you knew they were there.”

A third ensemble woman, Synthia Green, said that singing for all of the living presidents helped her focus despite the early cold weather.

“It was extremely cold, but the excitement of the moment made me forget all about it,” Green said.

The university’s well-known female a cappella group, the Belle Tones, featured freshman Kelsey Williams as a soloist.

“I feel so honored and blessed to be a part of such a historic event in SMU’s history,” Williams said.

“I could not be more excited to

be here performing with the Belle Tones.”

Sophomore member Ally Van Deuren summed it up for most performers’ sentiments in saying, “it was the opportunity of a lifetime to perform for the opening.”

“All five living presidents, Condoleeza Rice, and—not to mention—Laura and Michelle, are on our beautiful campus,” Van Deuren said.

Like most of the campus community, this day has been long anticipated—for many, since before its groundbreaking.

“I have been looking forward to this day for so long and I can’t believe it’s finally here,” Van Duren said. “There is no better time to be an SMU Mustang.”

Yes. It’s as intense as you expect.

Tough projects. Tight deadlines.

It can be scary. But the growth is incredible. Because you have the support of your peers, the guidance of a mentor and the wisdom of partners to see you through. All of whom never forget they started out just like you.

Struggling with a warm welcome hanan esaili Contributing Writer hesaili@smu.edu Honestly, I was not as thrilled as my peers on the SMU campus to welcome the Bush Center and the Bush family. I have been raised in a fairly open-minded household and was aware of events that were happening in our country at a very young age. I felt the Bush Center would taint the reputation of the university because of the difficult decisions that were made during the “Bush Era” including the “weapons of mass destruction” issue, the decision to not double down during the Iraq War and whether the decision to go to war was wrong.

As a person who is concerned with the well-being of others of every race, ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation or what country they come from, my outlook on the Bush Center was focused on the negative moral aspect, not the other positive things it has and will bring to the university.

I attended the political forum on Wednesday afternoon with David Gregory and various other former White House staff members.What I received was far more than I bargained for.

I’ve been watching “Meet the Press” with David Gregory ever since I knew what the president actually did (which was around 1st grade). I feel he does an excellent job of covering what needs to be covered without adding much opinion. Gregory has had a front row seat to major events in history, and now we, as students, have the same opportunity.

Gregory started out the forum by welcoming the panel and asking why they thought the Bush Center was important to open.

Dan Bartlett, former counselor to President George W. Bush, said it was neat to see it all come together. “[Seeing everyone] it was like a family reunion. The museum was truly built in the post-digital era. The university will be a beacon for the world.

Andrew Card was joined by his predecessor Josh Bolten. Both served as White House Chief of Staff to U.S. President George W. Bush. Card said the museum goes through the process that G. W. Bush went through while making his decisions. Visitors will get to go back to what it was like to face the challenges he went through. “It is a very optimistic museum.”

Bolten made it a point to say the Bush Center was “ [the staff ’s] time to set the record straight.”

At this point in the forum, I had really started thinking: The American people tend to forget that the presidents are normal people that are chosen and elected by us to run our country.

They function the same way we do, celebrate the same way, and regret decisions like all of us. We the people don’t notice it until the president is out of office. We are so quick to judge the president on their decisions because they are running our country, but what we

fail to understand is that they have multiple things going on at once while trying to maintain their sanity. We focus on the negative, not the positive.

I think that Anita McBride, who served as assistant to President George W. Bush and Chief of Staff to First Lady Laura Bush, said it best when she described that during the Bush presidency the press was focused on the war because that was the main focus.”

It was hard for the [Bush’s] staff to get the good stories through.” No one really knew about the Malaria Initiatives that the first lady and the president worked to establish in Africa that saved many lives.

Not many knew about the five trips First Lady Laura Bush made to Afghanistan to learn and help the Afghan women. The people of America only saw the negative because the press “reflected the mood of the country,” Gregory said.

Gregory answered an audience question about how the press handled the Bush era. He said that the press didn’t dig as deep as they should or could have because there was a lot of “fear and pain in the country [after 9/11]…. The government needed room to do what they had to do.”

Gregory ended with one final word of advice to the journalism students attending: “Take advantage of this library and wrestle with these issues.

You have this opportunity as journalists.”

The Bush Center brings great recognition and high rankings to SMU. People will come from all over the world to study the documents and examine the decisions that were made during the Bush Administration. The $250 million center was constructed by donor’s money, not tax payer’s dollars, according to the center’s website. Undergraduates and graduate students from all across the world will have opportunities to pair with the center for research on women’s issues, military initiatives, education reform and so much more. SMU is now the center of the spotlight. But protestors do not want a library in Dallas that represents an administration who “committed war crimes and crimes against humanity and must be held to account,” Hadi Jawad, an activist with the Dallas Peace Center, said.

I think it is an amazing and historical time for the university and I am honored to be here during this period. After struggling with myself but keeping an open mind at these events, I welcome the Bush family and Bush Center to SMU. Although the Bush Center brings worldwide recognition to SMU, a place to conduct indepth research, and where the administration can be examined, is it worth giving up our morals and what supporting this museum means?

religion

A debate on the foundations of love Brandon Bub Contributing Writer bbub@smu.edu Ever since I was young, I was taught that love is one of the gifts of the Holy Spirit, freely given

by God to man in spite of his flawed nature. So if as many other people buy this interpretation as my religious teachers might suggest, I have an uphill battle when it comes to defending love without God. Perhaps critics of my position are correct. Perhaps there really is no reason to give of oneself freely to those close to us if there is no perfect exogenous model whence this love derives. Perhaps Ayn Rand was right: altruism is a dangerous corruption of human morality and the only good life is one perpetually mediated by rational self-interest. Perhaps there is no purpose to human existence besides the continued propagation of our species, and any people who get in the way of this goal are perfectly expendable; no use dwelling on those who suffer because “that’s just the way the cookie crumbles, man.”

And yet, I find these hypotheses as painful to suggest as they must be for any reasonable person to read. I reject the notion that a godless society is one in which humans necessarily lack regard for one another. In fact, even with God, human beings don’t do a particularly good job of loving one another. When two depraved young boys see it fit to kill and maim hundreds of people in the name of their God, or when self-proclaimed Catholics like New York State Senator Greg Ball can go on TV arguing that one of those perpetrators ought to be executed (something the Catholic Church strictly forbids), I wonder what kind of cognitive dissonance must be clouding their views to make them ignore explicit Scriptural commands.

But the fact that human beings do fall short of this imperative to love, regardless of whether that command emanates from God or from within an inborn conception of human decency, does not mean that it should be totally disregarded. And in spite of the unimaginable and unconscionable atrocities human beings have committed throughout history, I remain confident that the human potential for love is strong. When runners participating in the Boston Marathon cross the finish line and run three more miles to the hospital to donate blood to bombing victims; when the city of West, Texas asks that people stop donating certain relief goods because they simply don’t have the resources to maintain people’s generous contributions; when a good friend can cheer an ailing buddy up just by staying close and hardly saying a word; when a couple of people married for over 50 years can share a look with one another as if they had just started dating again -- that’s how I know that there is love. I might not be able to quantify human compassion or explain it fully through evolutionary or biological processes, but I know that it is most certainly there, and it is something worth living for, regardless of whether or not God compelled us to do so.

Rather than continue rambling, however, I thought I should co-opt the words of a humanist author who expressed this sentiment far better than I will ever be able to: as Kurt Vonnegut wrote in his grossly underrated “The Sirens of Titan,” “A purpose of life, no matter who is controlling it, is to love whoever is around to be loved.”

michael dearman Contributing Writer mdearman@smu.edu Whether we hear about it from Romantic poets, cognitive scientists, self-help gurus or religious folk, love is central to the human experience.

Everyone has some theory about love, whether it’s a fabrication, just chemicals in the brain or if there is in fact some metaphysical thing called love.

I think love involves both action and an orientation of the spirit.

Thus, it seems like love is consciously chosen. Love is displayed through acting in certain ways towards others, but also in sentiments, emotions and thoughts.

The English language is severely hindered in that it only has one word for love, with no chance of differentiating between erotic love, the love of friendship, Platonic love or something transcendent. But we might think that all of these types of love have something in common.

I think that, of these manifestations, the uniting factor is something that transcends all of them. In particular, I’m thinking of an eternal love that comes only from the Divine.

These types of love are all shadows of the Christian notion of love, which holds that God is the epitome of love.

Love is not this or that action or this or that emotion; love is from and of God and shows itself through actions.

In the words of the 19th century Danish philosopher and theologian, Soren Kierkegaard, “for one is not to work in order that love becomes known by its

fruits but to work to make love capable of being recognized by its fruits.”

Love, then, is something wholly otherworldly, and cannot be reduced to simply this or that set of actions, but we can see God or love in particular instances, like flashes of lightning that intimate the transcendent idea of Light.

Kierkegaard’s words are even further instructive in that he calls us to understand love as a duty.

This duty, to love, is eternal and unwavering against any change of emotion or circumstance.

Here is where Kierkegaard’s understanding of Christian love runs up against our contemporary ideas of love.

One does not fall in and out of love. Love is eternal, and our participation in loving is an instance of that love.

The idea that erotic fixation on someone is love undermines and degrades the notion of Christian love. One’s attachment to another person is hardly the epitome of love, and it may in fact be contrary to Christian love.

When we say, “I love you,” what we might mean is actually “I have some attachment to you, but it might disappear when you hurt or offend me.”

This is, by no stretch of the imagination, an inaccurate representation of love. Instead of abandoning the high idealism of Christian love to a secularized and naturalized view of love, we should strive to maintain the beauty and the duty that comes along with love as a manifestation of God’s divine nature.

Notorious for its desert winds and countless dehyrated concertgoers, Coachella has come to a close, but in many ways the festival marks the start of summer music festivals.

Highlights from Coachella include R. Kelly joining indie rock band Phoenix on stage. The xx inviting Beyonce’s younger sister Solange to perform with them and Katy Perry’s shout out to Grimes, “No one does adorbies better than Grimes.”

Lyndsey Parker of Yahoo Music noted that “Katy was right: Grimes may very well be the future of female dance-pop.

“While Grimes’s shrill and babyish voice was at times barely audible over the noise of the conflicting stages (or the screaming for her biggest hits, “Oblivion” and “Genesis”), her can’t-look-away stage presence and irresistible dreampop floor-fillers compensated for all that. I fully expect to see Grimes on the Main Stage at Coachella 2014--and I wouldn’t be surprised if Katy is in the front row again, when that happens.”

the emotions connected to adolescence and treats them with the respect and dignity that they deserve.

In Nichols’ world, age is but a number.

“Mud” opens in theatres today.

If Jeff Nichols were to make his latest movie “Mud” into a recipe, the result would be a dish equal parts suspense, drama and action with a strong dash of a classic coming-of-age tale that results in one incredibly delectable cinematic offering.

“Mud” follows two teenage boys – Ellis (Tye Sheridan) and Neckbone (Jacob Lofland) – as they find, and eventually help, the story’s title character Mud (Matthew McConaughey) who is on the run from the law after being suspected for murder.

Sheridan and Lofland are natural in Nichols’ Southern world.

With thick-as-molasses accents and an acclamation to the physical demands for their role, the two teenagers hold their own with the movie’s heavyweight cast that includes the like of Reese Witherspoon, Sarah Paulson, and Nichols’ own lucky charm, Michael Shannon.

While Lofland and Sheridan are certainly standouts, the real driving performance comes from Matthew McConaughey.

Nichols claims that he wrote the part exclusively for Courtesy of Roadside Attractions the actor and the director’s Matthew McConaughey stars in the 2012 film. “Mud.” wishful thinking paid off as McConaughey fits the part’s bill to a T. Whatever you may like to call it, the actor is certainly experiencing a career change.

Reese Witherspoon and Michael Shannon both deliver notable performance too.

The latter more than the former.

Nichols’ carefully written screenplay flows in and out of its competing narratives with the ease of a Southern belle working the room at a debutante ball. “Mud” could have easily been sliced and diced into an incoherent, cliché-riddled mess but Nichols’ artistic attention to detail results in a polished, well-paced film certain to become an American

nfl Draft

Number Seven: Elvis Andrus

Cowboys move down in first round; get new offensive lineman from Wisconsin

Kent Koons Staff Writer kkoons@smu.edu EDITOR’S NOTE: This is part four of our countdown of the top ten current professional athletes in Dallas.

Coming in at number seven, fresh from signing an eight-year, $120 million extension, is Elvis Andrus. The Rangers’ shortstop is only in his fifth year, but he has already made a major impact in the league.

Andrus grew up in Maracay, Venezuela. In 2005, he started playing professional baseball, as a prospect for the Atlanta Braves.

In 2007, Andrus was traded to the Texas Rangers in a huge deal that saw himself, Jarrod Saltalamacchia and pitchers Neftali Feliz, Matt Harrison and Beau Jones to Texas, in exchange

for Mark Teixeira and Ron Mahay.

Fair to say the Rangers won that trade.

In 2009, then Ranger Michael Young agreed to move to third base, opening the shortstop position for Andrus, who made his Major League debut at the age of 20. That year saw Elvis collect 128 hits, 72 runs and 40 RBIs in 145 games. He also stole 33 bases.

2010 was not only a career changing year for Andrus, but a franchise defining year for the Rangers. Andrus was named to the All-Star team that year. More importantly, behind the claw and antlers, Andrus had 156 hits and 35 RBIs, helping the Rangers to win their first American League Championship in franchise history.

The following year Andrus continued to improve, and once again helped the Rangers reach

the World Series. The 2012 season saw Andrus get career highs in hits (180) and RBIs (62). That was good enough to earn Andrus his second All-Star selection.

Currently, Andrus has only 14 career home runs. He’s not a power hitter, but that’s fine, given the young man’s skill set.

He’s always slated into one of the first couple slots in the batting order, and that often works in favor of the Rangers.

Andrus is dangerous when gets on base. His speed makes him a threat to steal a base considering he has done it 127 times in his young career.

Add Andrus’ stellar defensive play on top of his offensive talent, and you’re left with one stellar ball player. Andrus is slated to be a major part of the Rangers’ organization for the foreseeable future, and that’s a fantastic thing.

Matthew Costa Associate Sports Editor mcosta@smu.edu As pieces fell into place for the Dallas Cowboys to pick up one of the top-ranked defensive players in the 2013 draft, Jerry Jones pulled off a move that has frustrated many Cowboys fans: he traded away the 18th pick to the 49ers.

In exchange, Dallas picked up San Francisco’s later first round pick at 31, used to select Wisconsin Center Travis Frederick, along with the 74th pick overall.

Frederick was a two-time All-America as a high school offensive lineman. According to nfl.com, the 6-foot-4-inch Badger

name players fall off the board, including offensive lineman Kyle Long, son of Hall-of-famer Howie Long, Tennessee wide receiver Cordarrelle Patterson, and UCLA defensive lineman Datone Jones.

The draft will continue tonight with the second and third rounds, while rounds four through seven will conclude Saturday afternoon.

The draft will be televised on ESPN and the NFL Network.

Hopefully, the Cowboys will utilize their newest signing to his fullest ability. With little time remaining for Jason Garrett to produce a winning team, Dallas will need to extract every last drop of talent from every incoming face.

Woodson talks player finances Demetrio Teniente Sports Editor dteniente@smu.edu

Texas Rangers Shortstop Elvis Andrus batting at the plate during a game against the Seattle Mariners on April 13.

became the first true freshman to start a season-opener in Wisconsin history.

The Cowboys had what many experts ranked as the best defensive player coming out of college in Sharrif Floyd of Florida lined up to take, but just before Dallas was ready to select, owner and general manager, Jerry Jones, pulled off the trade that had everyone talking in colorful language.

“When you move down 13 spots you get a second rounder,” Jamie Plunkett ,owner and creator of Dallas Sports Rant, said.

“That’s just how it works. But no, we get a 3rd and a lollipop.”

Dallas waited the extra thirteen picks to see several other big

The wealth of professional football players is being put into clearer perspective like never before. It may not be new to everyone, but it is an idea that seems absurd to the general public. How can someone who gets paid millions of dollars for a number of years, retire and almost immediately become broke.

“It’s easy,” former safety for the Dallas Cowboys Darren Woodson said to a group of young journalists at SMU last Wednesday. “The agent gets his three percent off the top. Uncle Sam is taking another 40 percent, off the top. Then you have living expenses and family. I’d say family is by far the worst because they are greedy.”

The reality is that the average life span for an NFL career is less

than four years. According to Sports Illustrated 78 percent of NFL players were bankrupt or in a financial crisis in 2009. “[Football players] have always been catered too and people have been kept from you,” Woodson said. “So you don’t really get to experience the real world and what’s really going on. The one thing about being an athlete you are always in that world of not knowing.

When the time comes to make a decision at the end of your career you say, ‘Well all I’ve ever been is a football player. That’s all I’ve ever known.’ That’s why certain guys go broke.”

Woodson says there are two types of athletes, both types never had money before, but one holds onto it while the other does almost everything imaginable to spend it.

“They aren’t thinking about football, the sport, being a short life,” Woodson said. “I lost

relationships because I wasn’t giving out money.”

Woodson says that former teammate and Hall of Famer Troy Aikman played an intricate role in his financial stability.

Aikman was the highest paid player on the roster, but for 12 years he drove the same white ford pick-up truck.

Aikman knew how to handle his money and had the guidance of a good agent. Woodson was unhappy with his agent at the time and was seeking new representation. “[Aikman] came to me and talked to me about money,” Woodson said. “He asked me who represented me and the first thing Troy said to me was they are going to put you on a budget. You aren’t going to be able to spend all your money so understand they are going to teach you how money works. I thought that was the best piece of advice I could get.”
