[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Most of the better college programs rely heavily on international players anyway. This year at UMd, for example, 9 of the usual starting lineup is from outside the US. it’s quite a telling indictment of youth development in the US. [/quote] Many of these players are also older. It is hard for a 17 year old player from Bethesda to compete for recruitment against a 20 year old from Bayern Munich's academy who is really good, just not good enough to play professionally. The Premier League has a rule that at least 8 players in the squad have to have played on an English team or academy for at least three years before they turn 21. Many leagues around the world have had limits on the number of foreign nationals on the squad. I wish that sports teams in public universities had to give priority to kids either born or developed in the US. [/quote]
