This is one of the dumbest things I have ever read on eGriz. Congrats.
I think a recruited athlete is entitled to the perk of a scholarship and everything it entails no matter where they are from.
I can see both sides of this. I think it is fine for a limited number of foreign kids to get athletic scholarships at US Universities/colleges. I certainly dont think we should look at the world’s population as the recruiting base for US athletic scholarships. We offer a unique opportunity in the US that makes the limited scholarships for most sportd here very desirable and I absolutely think the vast majority should go to US citizens and I think they do. One exception might be mens soccer. There are a disproportionate number of mens soccer players at US colleges that are from out of the US. Would be interested to see the numbers on Federal tax dollars going to foreign men soccer players. Maybe most of these guys arent getting tax dollar funded scholarships.
