Richard: [0:59] Quick: I've enjoyed it Bob, but you know title nine changed things for women's athletics. And I was involved in it at the beginning of the real implementation of title nine and, by the way Bob, I just want you to know Stanford has done Title nine right, in that, they've expanded women's sports without dropping men's sports.
