Given all the debate in the other thread about Qatar "buying" up some of the top talent in swimming, my question is how many people feel the USA should do the same?
Hoogie & Thorpe for our 800 free relay?
Schoeman & Hoogie for our 400 free?
How about on the W's side, a couple of th Aussies maybe?

What do you see as the difference between universities recruiting and paying swimmers (foreign or otherwise) to swim on their team and countries recruiting and paying swimmers to swim on their team?
