This reminds me, who was that girl, Misty something, who swam so well in the 2012 Olympics, and then parents complained about her being on the swim team when she went back to college? They said she was too good and “it’s not FAIR!!”

Olympic level swimming requires SO MUCH prep and commitment, and it doesn't have the pot of gold at the end that basketball or golf have. She more than earned the perk of a swimming scholarship, assuming she got one. The school swim program likely attracts more donations if they have the best female swimmer in the world.
