What was the hardest part about being a student-athlete?

"I think I would say managing my time was the hardest part. We slammed in 11 practices during the week along with two days a week of weight training. I had to manage all the classes within the hours of all the practices, so that was a bit difficult to handle. Just figuring out a schedule and getting my homework done was probably the hardest part."

That is probably what helps swimmers prepare so well for success in life, right?  How about we find a way to get men's swimming back into schools like Kansas, Iowa State, New Mexico, University of Houston, Rice, UCLA, Nebraska, Miami, Rutgers, Illinois, Arkansas...
