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?

Frank,
Same thing.
If my kid has straight A's and gets bumped on an academic scholarship due to financial constraints with a school that is supposedly out of money but then manages to portion out additional funds to foreign kid's scholarships..... i.e. public tax dollars that I may have paid indirectly to the school to begin with.... ?
no way !..... I'd still be pissed off. We have enough problems and shortfalls in our own country. Same principle. Foreigners are more than welcome to come to school in the US....... but do it on their own dime.
