Interesting read about Missy Franklin in Bleacher Report about how she's still the positive girl we all know despite pressures from sponsorships, charities, and the NCAA. Here's a paragraph from the article showing you how much trouble the NCAA was for Missy -
"The NCAA happened. Yes, the NCAA happened big time, forcing Franklin to make a pro-or-college decision that no one should have to make. The NCAA continues to cling to its ancient, made-up idea of amateurism for college athletes, even while sports bring in billions of TV dollars. Even the Olympics allow pros now. But American college athletes aren't allowed to cash in."
In the end she still seems positive more than ever and I'm happy she's a Cal Bear. What a great human being. Hopefully she brings back gold again!
