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.
They certainly don't put their money down expecting that it will be funnelled to individuals that don't stay in the US or willing to represent the US athletically either.
The money goes to university student-athletes, as expected. The anticipated return is good performances while competing for the university.
The rest doesn't matter in the least. Donors want teams to win, the others expect a good educational environment.
Besides once having been a scholarship swimmer, I work at a university; cultural and ethnic diversity is prized on college campuses and serves the students well.
