I just heard that two more universities, Rutgers and James Madison, are ditching men's swimming while spending zillions on football and golf. My own alma mater almost cut women's swimming several years ago. They were saved by alumni fundraising, but not until the swim team put itself up for sale on ebay. Endurance sports get no respect. It makes no sense. I thought open water swimming and triathlons and road racing were on the rise even among young kids. If so, why cut all those sports in college? I guess it's still just a miniscule percentage that participate compared to other sports, like my least favorite youth sport -- travel soccer.
What's a "muffin top?"
More importantly, as to John Smith's point, why is it that everyone in the US loves and watches swimming during the Olympics, but is utterly disinterested in it any other time?
P.S. Swimmer boys are very cute. So are crew jocks (my husband).
Muffin top - think low waisted jeans that are too tight and blub hanging over like the top of a muffin over the tin.:D
