Old national caliber swimmers that never come back

Interesting and unfortunate that the vast majority of ex swimmers that made finals at NCAAs or Nationals when they were younger (or even just cuts) do not now participate in Masters Swimming. Only a small handful of these people come to Masters Nationals each year within each age group.
What a good opportunity USMS presents to see old faces and have a good time. I think USMS would benefit tremendously from their knowledge of the sport.

Well, two follow ups to this.
First, 10 years ago the Big Ten had won 39/72 championships in swimming.
Second, we all know why Illinois dropped swimming. It's because 10 baseball playing teenagers in the state believe swimmers are gay. That, in turn, caused the state to drop swimming from their flagship institution.
When did the Big Ten get 22 schools?
