A little bit of facts here. In mens college D1 international players make up about of 1/3 rosters. For women it's about 1 out of 8. That means US players are still the vast majority. 67% of mens and 88% of women playing in D1 are domestic players. Don't blame the internationals for why your kid can't make it.
Um most D1 schools aren't privately funded. Also international students arent paying the American tax dollars that fund Universities. So yes I'll blame all the international players that I want. Unless they are paying for college 100% out of their own pocket. (which we all know none are)
Tax dollars don’t fund the soccer teams.
Yeah, pretty sure athletic departments fund teams. Think TV deals, tickets to events, licensing, etc.
The athletic department budget for most schools comes primarily from student fees.
Did you just make that up? We’re talking about D1 schools! Still, student fees aren’t “American tax dollars” either.

Yea, D3 maybe. You have any idea what you are talking about? Big Ten has a 2.5 billion dollar TV deal and that’s not enough for them. College sports is a huge $$$ business for everyone including the players.
