so one of my old college housemates was on the US Olympic team for judo....they get sooo much money through corporations sponsoring them. And this is judo, not putting the sport down, but its not the first sport you think of. Jon was saying that in the more obvious sports (like swimming, track or gymnastics) they get even more money.

Edit: i should add that I live in San Jose (in case you didnt check the location).....
