Daniel is retired now and lives in Georgia. He is able to speak very candidly and openly in this interview about the impact that Title IX had on all sports programs in the United States.

Daniel talks about the direct and indirect outcomes of the legislation that changed American Sports forever. Coach Kriese considers this interview one of the best of the year as it gives the inside look into College athletics and its dramatic change over the past 25 years.
