Did people read in Swimming World about the study that determined men's qualifying times have been lowere? It is one of the great side effects of university's cutting programs. There are fewer young guys swimming and fewer hours swimming is on TV (even though TV tiem is increasing). Few people I talk with where I live about swimming even new that college's had a national finals!
Also, does anyone think that Phelps going pro and not swimming in college will have any effect of any kind on college swimming?
