Deadbeat Cav: Former Virginia superstar Ralph Sampson owes more than $300,000 in child support for two teenage daughters. He has failed to pay $1,500 a month per child for apparently a very long time. He agreed to a plea bargain that will allow him to avoid jail time and fines. His lawyer said Sampson spent most of the summer raising funds to pay the child support. According to financial records, Sampson earned $500,000 in 1999, but his income dropped to $12,000 in 2001. An All-American at Virginia, Sampson was one of the most dominating players in ACC history. He was the No. 1 draft choice in the 1983 NBA Draft and played nine years in the NBA, averaging 15.4 points per game.

-Jay Wright, NCAA Championship Men’s Basketball Coach, Villanova University
"At a time in America when we are witnessing an epidemic of opioid addictions and deaths, along with suicides, we need Coach Jarvis' Seven C's of Leadership – grounded in the power of Christ alone where we should all make our stand.”
-Lietenant Colonel Allen B. West (U.S. Army, Retired), Bronze Star recipient, and Member 112th U.S. Congress
"The Seven C's of Leadership is a slam dunk! Coach Jarvis has always been an outstanding leader because he has the ability to decipher what true leadership really means.”
-Dale Brown, Head Men’s Basketball Coach, LSU, 1972-1997, Member of the College Basketball Hall of Fame, and Shaquille O’Neal’s college coach
