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.
Chris Stevenson,
Thank you for your salient responses and for exposing this thread for what it is...total BS.
If UTexas would have won - would Mr Negative even have been created by the mad scientist's alter ego?
Were there chants of USA-USA when American swimmers from other universities...say from Cal, Michigan or even Auburn(Tyler McGill 44.63100fly) broke American records? I didn't hear it.
Perhaps it was only Texas fans chanting? Classy.
You don't think great coaching was involved to get guys like Tyler McGill, Logan Madsen, Adam Klein, Michael Silva, Jared White and Kohlton Norys ready for this meet. Did the "foreign" guys just waltz out there with no direction from Brett Hawke and perform?
Auburn may not be able to break American records in relays (only shatter them and set new NCAA records), so I guess they'll have to settle for another lowly NCAA championship.
And like Brett said, "this championship belongs to Richard."
I think it is a beautiful story.
So would you support a college team that was made up 100% of foreign swimmers?
This is not about Auburn...this is not about protectionism...this is taking a hard look at how we best support US swimming interests within the college system. Does it make any sense a all to have some type of structure in place that limits the numbers of these athletes on a college team?
