How many guys from other countries does it take to win a National Championship? Good thing they all attended classes on campus the entire year..... :-) Makes everyone feel proud to see the American Record holder on the 4th place podium.

  • Athletic scholarships are not a God-given right. Amen. -- These scholarships are being handed out based on merit. These kids have for the most part EARNED the right to the money they receive - whether it be their grades, SAT's or athletic skills. Why should someone's country of origin determine whether or not they get a spot in school? Isn't that discrimination? Look, I'm all for encouraging Americans to attend American universities, but this country gives opportunities to all people. If I'm in charge of handing out scholarships and if Joe American's profile tells me that his slacker ass doesn't deserve any of my money, I'm giving it to Joe Foreigner.
