It started with a private jet and a lie. In early 1986, Bo Jackson was a senior at Auburn University — the reigning Heisman Trophy winner and a rare athlete dominating both football and baseball. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers, holding the first overall pick in the 1986 NFL Draft, wanted him badly. Owner Hugh Culverhouse arranged a private jet to bring him to Tampa. He told Jackson the trip had been cleared by the NCAA. It hadn’t. When Jackson returned, he was ruled ineligible for the rest of his senior baseball season. A season taken from him. He believed it wasn’t a mistake. He told Culverhouse: draft me if you want—you’ll waste the pick. They drafted him anyway. First overall. Offered him $7.6 million. He said no. Instead, he signed with the Kansas City Royals for $1.07 million and went to the minor leagues. Bus rides. Empty seats. No guarantees. From the outside, it looked irrational. From the inside, it was principle. On November 30, 1987 — his 25th birthday — Jackson lined up for the Los Angeles Raiders on Monday Night Football against the Seattle Seahawks. Linebacker Brian Bosworth had promised to stop him. He didn’t. Jackson took a handoff, broke outside, and ran 91 yards for a touchdown — past defenders, past the sideline, straight into the tunnel. Later, he ran straight through Bosworth at the goal line. 221 rushing yards. His fifth NFL game. Then baseball came. In 1989, he was named MVP of the MLB All Star Game — chasing down impossible plays and hitting a home run off Rick Reuschel that traveled nearly 450 feet. Two sports. Two leagues. One athlete. But the most remarkable thing about Bo Jackson wasn’t the speed or the power. It was the refusal. He refused to reward dishonesty. He refused to let money erase what had been done to him. He chose a bus ride over millions because some things matter more than numbers. His career ended too soon — a devastating hip injury in 1991 changed everything. But his legacy didn’t. Bo Jackson remains the only athlete ever named an All-Star in both Major League Baseball and the National Football League. And that legacy began with a decision. A 22-year-old sitting on the ground in Auburn, his baseball season gone, choosing not to bend. He didn’t break. The world adjusted around him.

Always grateful. Never satisfied.

Excited to be selected again to help kick off draft weekend with the NCAA and NFL Administrator’s Academy. One of the very best programs to help young people supercharge their athletic administration or front office careers.
