[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP take a look at this. Looks like tennis might be the toughest due to number of foreigners

Field hockey is like that too. Look at the great schools (UNC). Many are all from Europe.[/quote]

Soccer is this way now too.  Most of the teams are at least 50% international students.  Men and women. (D1)

The chart at the link above indicates that 34% of men’s D1 soccer players are international and only 11 percent for women’s soccer. I follow a lot of men’s college soccer teams, and another thing to factor in is that some coaches heavily recruit from overseas year after year while others don’t.  It’s a bit of an odd phenomenon since the teams with the highest concentration of overseas players are generally not among the top performing teams, but perhaps it requires less effort from coaches to get fairly decent players.

Florida State (Girls) lots of international players and they are great. Also, international players get full rides, so the more there are the less % of the 14 scholarships for everyone else.
