A noble, if unrealistic idea. He suggests that a group of 8 to 10 swimmers could operate like a professional cycling team under the umbrella of Team Nissan. The likening of this kind of a series to the existing World Cup is ironic in that the U.S. doesn't support the World Cup at all. It doesn't fit into their calendar, and is not a priority, money or no money. While swimming is certainly headed in the direction of greater bucks and glory, it is a long way from Track and Field in its ability to interest big time sponsors.
