    to truly qualify as a "pro," she needed to have actually made some prize money. she never did, therefore your example falls as flat as you do coming off the treadmill. were you the weightlifter chump in that thread?

    Nope, wrong. If you get ANYTHING above "actual and necessary expenses," you are, according to the NCAA, a professional. Doesn't have to be prize money.

    I have no idea what team this guy is thinking of, but he must be talking about alumni donations. That's basically the only "revenue" source cross country has.
