2012 Olympics: Swimming

Missy Franklin is debating whether to turn pro. Don't know how much money is on the table, but she did say it would be "absurd" to turn down so much. www.nbcnews.com/.../48688341 Well, isn't all her Grand Prix money, World Champs, Cup and Olympic money in a trust til she turns pro? I remember hearing a while back that Brendan Hansen got World Champ money from the previous year when he turned pro in 2004. I say do it or the gymnasts girls will get all the endorsements. She could pay for college on her own and focus getting more Olympic hardware. Some analysts predicted 2 to 5 million. I am sure that she can get a cosmetic endorsements which would be big money.
