How many guys from other countries does it take to win a National Championship?
Good thing they all attended classes on campus the entire year..... :-)
Makes everyone feel proud to see the American Record holder on the 4th place podium.
It seems your cause would be better served, Mr. Negative, by pursuing rule changes rather than complaining on this message board. The rules don't disallow foreign swimmers at this time. If you feel so strongly, you should do something proactive and do what you can to change the rules.
I agree that no student (U.S. citizen or otherwise) should be competing for any team when they are only taking online classes from afar. But, again, if the rules allow for that, the rules are what needs changing.
Why is it that John Leonard and other U.S. coaches aren't pushing for these rule changes? These rules have presumably been on the books for years, why hasn't anyone been compelled to make changes in the past?
