Before he committed to Texas, Arch Manning's father Cooper actually wanted his son to commit to a surprise school, the University of Virginia...
quote:
“Of all places, Cooper liked Virginia for his son for one reason: It wasn’t a football crazy school. He could live under the radar. His older sister, May, was a student there. As Cooper and Arch walked through campus, the father saw an opportunity for something close to peacefulness,” ESPN’s Seth Wickersham writes in his new book, “Quarterback.”

Cooper Manning told his son how he felt.

You could come here, be a normal guy,” Cooper told him. “No one’s gonna mess with you.”

Another bonus: if Arch went to UVA, he could be Queen of Carnival one year.

Dominate the ACC and get drafted first without having to go through the gauntlet. Makes some sense, considering he gets all hype with no performance

The Manning's know that college is just a short step stone away from the true prize, the NFL.

Ole Cooper - He would have made Jerry Rice look like a backup if wouldn't have gotten hurt.

Rich whites in South love UVA because it's a great school, yet still has a southern feel even though Virginia is no longer the South.
