It's true, for most people not involved in amateur sports at a high level the awareness wouldn't be there. It's a bit different for me because my sister competes at a very high level in Long Distance running so it is a constant battle to get funding for her. For example, she is 24 years old and still needs to work 3 bingos every two months in order to get enough money together to travel to certain competitions....I bet you high level University athletes in the States don't have to work bingos to travel to track competitions across the States.
