“If you're not thinking about the fifth quarter when your child is at the collegiate level, you're thinking about the wrong thing…You should be thinking about life after sports. How is this decision for us to go to this particular school going to affect my son or daughter once the ball stops bouncing or the whistle stops blowing.” – Marty McNair
