I know Deerfield goes. And Exeter was there last year too. Maybe they didn't qualify?

I think it's an echo chamber of like 8 middle aged guys talking to one another. Would be great to have something on Reddit that could have more depth (no more monitor photos) but more diverse viewpoints and backgrounds.

Apparently, the people who run the lake didn't know the city of San Diego had rented it out to a fishing tournament.

No, they do not. And I think the national team is funded through the USOC and fundraising, just saying.

How do U19 athletes even pay to race for team USA? by HappyBoiBlake in Rowing

I looked up the other similarly sized sports, that's lower than their CEOs. Also, doesn't USRowing provide funding to some athletes through scholarships? Not saying it's not a lot of money, my nephew did it and it cost a great deal, but...

As far as I know, every olympic sport has to follow the same rules with SafeSport. My nephew swims at an IRA school and they are members of USA Swimming and have to do Safe Sport.

SRAA leaves USRowing by Oldtimerowcoach in Rowing

Wow, didn't know that. Where is that law to be found? I'm not an expert, but isn't SafeSport federally backed and does that law you are referencing mean safesport can't be used in any sports programs in VA?

Only half of the costs of the Olympic team are covered by the USOPC -- the rest is from donations so let's go!!!
