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.

  • They certainly don't put their money down expecting that it will be funnelled to individuals that don't stay in the US or willing to represent the US athletically either. Are you sure they care? I would think their primary goal is for those athletes to represent the university well. Who cares if they compete for another country outside NCAA sanctioned competition? And why would they care if they stay in the U.S.? Right now at work I'm working side-by-side with foreign nationals from Japan, India, Russia, Spain, etc. They are contributing to the economy of their own country and also to the economy of the U.S. with their work. There are many international students who are educated in the U.S. and choose to stay and work here and that's great, but if they choose to return to their home I don't have a problem with that either.
