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

I would argue that the scholarships that go to foreign born volleyball players ensure a more harmful view to our notion of foreigners going to our schools with sports scholarships than do swimmers. Many schools get these guys to their schools
Ignorance on my part, but I had no idea men's volleyball was an NCAA sport until reading this. I remember thinking it was strange that the U.S. men's team did so well in Beijing considering it isn't an NCAA sport.
