OK just read that Katie Hoff has gone professional. Not that this has any bearing on anything but I am bit bummed.
I really was hoping that she would break Pablo’s NCAA records for most wins in college. There is a part of me that
really wants to have swimmers be amateurs, but that is quickly blasted out of the water with all the DUAH! Why
wouldn’t an oober athlete get millions of dollars for their athletic talents --that is years overdue. Does any one think
swimmers will get to be “divas” or “divos” like some professional athletes?
Ironic that many on this forum claim swimming is dead or is dying and yet call attention to the fact that swimmers are now going pro before their college years are done. This has been a fact of life in the big sports for decades. Maybe swimming has arrived, contrary to what some say, when its best athletes are leaving early to pursue the American dream of big $$.
