2012 Olympics: Swimming

I think giving up million of dollars just to swim in college is a little absurd, too. With these things you need to strike when the iron is hot and it's sizzling right now. My wife told me last week she read a story that said Michael Phelps could make $100 million in endorsements over his lifetime. We're not talking about earning a nice living for a couple years. This is the kind of money where you'd never have to think about working for the rest of your life.
