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.

Yes, very simple...but colleges are simply not in the business of developing US Olympic talent. That's the USAS's/USOC's job.
That is simply a crock of crap.
Fact is the SAME talent swims in both arenas (USA Swimming and NCAA). Your border between the two worlds is nothing but adminstrative. The talent moves freely between both bodies and the personal goals and coaches are the same between each body. One is not exclusive of the other.
To assume that colleges have no roll or involvement in developing talent that goes to the Games or competes internationally is truely naive.
