March Madness What Do You Truly Think Parents

What is our role as parents of athletes who play a part in this billion dollar event?  Or do we have a role?  Some would say yes and others would say no.  Let's hear your thoughts as this event comes to another end.  Far to often we are dismissed from the conversation and are told the parent's perspective holds no value.  Really, hahahahahahahahahah and lol, lol, lol, lol.  This sounds counter-productive to me, how about you mom, dad, grandmom, and pop-pop?
