USA Today articles

Here are a couple really interesting articles, from USA Today. The financial situation for athletes is pretty dire - in fact, I heard just today that the funding for the US Olympic Committe itself was just cut in half by lost sponsors!

I'm posing the links for the stories, but also did some screenshots in case you can't find them. Sorry, they are kind of patched together!
