[quote=Anonymous]To previous poster who mentioned tennis, this is correct and becoming more common. No team is winning the D1 championship without some foreign players. I played D1 tennis in the late 80s and we had two foreign players on our roster and my experience was that much better with them on the team. I am all for non US players on rosters, but I believe there should be a limit. Fewer and fewer kids in the US are pursuing college tennis because they know they are competing against the world for a roster spot. The last point I will make is from the point of view of a college coach. Foreign players are usually more mature and more reliable. They have tried playing professionally and didn't work out. They don't come here to join frats and party. They come to train hard, play hard, and get a degree, and many want to stay here. Some serve assistant coaches and get grad degrees. I am all for that. For the sport of soccer, some become your ecnl coaches ![/quote]
