professional vs. amateur swimming.

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?

    So with Katie going pro, should the scholarship she otherwise would have had go to a foreign athlete or only to a U.S. citizen? (ooops, flashback . . . sorry). carl
