[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

+1.  We went to the Cornell v. Darmouth game recently and 9 of 11 Dartmouth starters were non-U.S. players.  Ridiculous. [/quote]

If internationals are willing to spend 4 years in Hanover, NH at a school that offers no scholarships, then there is little hope for homegrown US players. [/quote]Not a lawyer but it will be interesting to see if college sports are counted as work then will those on student visas will be forced to major in sports related fields or they can't "work"/play college sports in the US. Seems student visas only let you work in your field.[/quote]

That would be a great legal issue to explore. I was an int’l student and could work up to 20 hours a week for the school (eg, library, admin, etc.) during the school year and then up to 1 year after grad in my field.

But the issue of whether they are considered an employee under immigration law is prob still an open question. [/quote]
