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.

I compare diving to noodling: The pool was built, in part, because a finance guy determined that they could make money off the pool by offering water aerobics classes and open swim. Pools are expensive. We need as many people in the water as possible. Even noodlers (Just quit staring at me because I can swim a lap without stopping).
Similarly: I don't know how many programs would be dropped altogether if swimming and diving were separated, perhaps only a few, but the sports are better off coexisting.
