Really interesting article re: the cost for college teams to try and stay even w/other teams that can afford to supply their swimmers w/the new suits.

Yeah, I don't believe it for a minute. I'm sure they've suited up for other meets this season. These days you've got to suit up to swim fast enough to qualify. They may not be getting any brand new suits for NCs, but I'm sure they've got suits.
I posted this two weeks ago: it is a lot harded to get 8 of these than 1. And Aubrun needs more like 20 because anyone who does breaststroke plus any other stroke ideally wears two types. But you are right, people will simply wear old suits. And then not do as well as they could have. And we'll chalk it up to another example of how life isn't fair, as if that somehow makes it okay...
