That's not the point. The point is to win championships, and therefore bring prestige and added interest to your school.
Football and Men's basketball bring prestige and added interest to your school. All of the other sports, which are non-revenue sports, are just kind of meh. It's unfortunate, but that's just the way it is.
This is F***ing ridiculous, 25 of the top 30 finishers in the Men's XC NCAA Championship were international. Most from Kenya. We need to save the NCAA and limit internationals, limit the ages - and drug test them.
Top Americans:
2nd - Rocky Hansen
7th - Gary Martin
16th - Colin Sahlman
25th - Aiden Smith
28th - Ethan Coleman
Lol you losers, it's only going to get worse. Now men's scholarships increase from 12 to 45 and women's from 18 to 45. All those extra scholarships are going right to Kenya.
It will be glorious when 99 of the top 100 are African. That's revenge for all the colonialization that America and Britain have been doing for centuries.
Hardly anyone cares about college cross country. Stanford had the best record by far in winning Olympic sports NCAA championships. Which mean squat. When the Conference musical chairs ended no one wanted Stanford.
Given the the current situation, I think it's wise for American cross country fans to start focusing on things other than time and place. The American who swept the course happens to moonlight as a DJ. Let's see any of those Kenyan imports do this.

very impressive performances, especially Sahlman. I bet he'll run 3:30 in the spring.

These coaches will say "the internationals help the Americans run faster and do better on the world stage" but that is BULLS***.
Ishmael Kipkirui came from the NCAA last year and beat American PRO runners Nico Young and Grant Fisher at the World Championships, placing 4th.
Lemngole beat all the Americans at the world championships in the steeplechase.
It's clear as day this current system is SEVERELY HURTING Americans as internationals take our scholarships, resources, coaching, etc. We are helping the international runners defeat Americans by providing them resources they wouldn't otherwise have.
It is clear that you have not been watching sport very long.
We've seen a very clear pattern of more foreigners raising the bar, and American collegians following. We have more international ready collegians than ever before.
The NCAA XC meet is the 2nd hardest cross country race in the world behind world cross. Why water it down?
