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..... :-) Influx of foreigners presents new challenges for NCAA www.usatoday.com/.../2008-10-01-foreign-influx_N.htm

  • Agreed.... that's what makes every last ounce of money more valuable and now even more difficult to obtain for US kids. There are billions of unclaimed scholarships dollars every year so stop pulling facts out of your FastSkin. No one is deprived. Seriously, can you please stop making up stats and crying about a non-issue? What is it gonna take for this to happen? I will buy you all the beer you want. I swam with 7 or 8 D-1 guys today and a D-II guy who swam against a current NCAA hotshot from a foreign country. You know what he said about him? - "he is awesome." Maybe when he's 57 like you he will cry rivers.
