Looks like the number of foreign athletes taking scholarship money away from home grown kids has surged in recent years. 2/3rds are in Division I schools.
I wouldn't dream of accusing lazy coaches who don't recruit well of using "hired guns" from other countries to win championships. I'm sure they are only accepting foreign athletes for the altruistic good of helping to diversify the student body..... :-)

So 6% of D-I athletes are foreign. Okay. Aside from the issue the article raised about athletes having come from pro backgrounds, I don't really see an issue. Certainly nothing that comes as a surprise anyhow.
