Yet another thread about the suits...

Ultimately the cat is out of the bag (swim bag)! Are we supposed to put the * next to every record set in a non-brief style speedo? What about Jammers vs briefs, or full leg suits vs. full body. A single wood baseball bat can cost in the $50 - $70 range, with nice bats over $100. What about a football helmet (at least $100 x 50 players). Ultimately we get back to the economics of playing a sport. You will not find many inner-city kids playing polo becuase a horse is not exactly in the budget of the average parent. Also, I have a general question. Do NCAA programs generally supply swim suits as it is, or do the athletes pay for them? In high school my parents had to fork out the dough when I purchased a Speedo Fast-skin leggings (around $110 at that time). You have student athletes paying $250-300 for a text book, so what is a nice suit worth to you?
