NU has 13 athletes participating in Olympics. What you got?

    UM has 25 (20 athletes and 5 coaches). And, yes, it includes Phelps. He was a student and assistant coach at UM leading up to the 2008 games. He couldn't swim for UM because he was ineligible under NCAA rules due to his endorsements.

    Like Alyson Felix at USC.

    She signed to run track then was offered so much money to run pro she decided to continue at USC paying her own way and take the endorsement and performance money.

    I've never understood the NCAA rules on endorsements and signing bonuses. They seem to vary by sport and make little sense. A baseball player can accept hundreds of thousands in a signing bonus and remain eligible to play amateur sports in college, but a swimmer can't accept endorsements (or can only accept a small amount). And golf and tennis players can receive tons of free equipment from manufacturers, but a football player must turn in his worn out cleats.

    Looks like only 12 this time around.

    +2 coaches.

    Kind of gay statement to make, but....OSU dominates synchronized swimming like few schools have dominated any sport, yet they have only one Olympian in that sport. She is only an alternate as well.
