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..... :-)

Nope. Cielo went pro.
OK - but in prior years Cielo probably had 10% of Auburn's scholarships for men's swimming/diving.
BTW - not saying he didn't deserve it. We proved he was the world's best short course yards sprinter (and a fine LCM sprinter too in Beijing).
