wut? That's pretty much their only job...(growing it in the US most importantly)
Despite good teams in '02 and '10, I don't recall the US team particularly captivating the nation, though maybe winning gold would have helped?
A US team could be even better right now. That hope isn't enough to justify going to the olympics on a bad deal, but it's certainly part of the calculus of trying to get a better deal.
