College or cash? For now, odds are it's college, says Missy Franklin.

The quadruple gold-medalist swimmer, 17, is about to enter her senior year of high school. After that comes the choice that isn't as easy as it sounds — go to college or turn pro.

Speaking at a news conference with the U.S. Olympic Team on Saturday, Franklin says that as of now, she still believes "that college is what's going to make me the happiest girl."

However, she still plans to sit down with her family and weigh some options.

By turning pro, Franklin would be eligible to grab endorsement deals that could be worth millions. That would also take away any chance she has of swimming at the collegiate level. It wouldn't impact her appearance in future Olympics, however.
