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..... :-)

Some of my closet friends on the swim team and from other sports were foreign athletes over here on scholarship. If it hadn't been for the money, then they wouldn't have been able to be over here and I wouldn't have a number of good people that I can still call FRIENDS to this day.
Let's drop this topic and move on.
