BETHLEHEM, Pa. ??? Junior Vera Sjöberg of the Boston University women's track & field and cross country teams was named the Patriot League Women's Scholar...
All you people have are these middle school level COD lobby insults, because you know your actual position it indefensible. Same with the men in women's sports defenders. (Probably because the venn diagram heavily overlaps)
I can guarantee you that just like that issue, this BS would be 80/20 in a national poll. You can throw out as many "keep crying bro" or "muh that doesn't happen chud" comments as you want, it's not gonna change that reality. How about you act like an adult and actually argue for your position on its merits?
What's there to argue? That is literally the way the rules are written. Just because you don't like the rules, that doesn't suddenly make your opinion valid as the counterexample. It's just some rando crying that the color of the skin of the athletes he likes are slow and getting their asses handed to them.
You can't have it both ways. If you're in favor of roster limits and not giving scholarships to non-American citizens -- as pure DEI as it gets -- then you must also be in favor of making sure that the admissions process is no longer completely blind to anything other than merit and is now taking into account the inherent disadvantages that come from one's socioeconomic and cultural environment.
The NATIONAL Collegiate Athletic Association prioritizing NATIONAL interests is not "DEI". Again, this is just another semantic "gotcha" so you can brag to your buddies that you owned a magat on twitter, you're not even trying or change anyones mind. You are purposely being obtuse, and it's not as clever or sly as you think.
Do you actual think some middle class parents in Iowa or Oklahoma who's kid ran 4:10 in HS and now can't get any type of athletic aid from the University they paid taxes to support for 18+ years is gonna be swayed by you saying "haha you just want DEI, get owned whitey" I think you and I both no the answer is no. This is just a weak attempt to rage bait. Fortunately rage baiting doesn't win elections though. If this was put up to a vote in either on of these states, we both know my position would win easily. Your cries of "bbbbbut MAGA are actually hypocrites you see, putting Americans first is actually DEI" will not help you at the polls where it actually matters.
The NCAA does not exist to provide free Olympic training centers for grown 25+ year old men from every corner of the world. We have been more than generous in allowing this to go on for 50+ years. Canada and Europe both restrict the number of foreigners in their leagues, and those aren't even tax funded. Are they practicing "DEI" also? The answer is obviously no, the world has just gotten to use the America paying for their athletes education. Sorry, our wallet is closed.

This is correct. Pretending otherwise is hilarious.
So the people Grant raced against when he was 18-22 are the primary reason he broke a world record 6 years later? If they prepared him so well, why didn't he break the record in college? You are full of s**t.
And which foreigners helped Hocker? He beat everyone in the NCAA by a lot except American Nuguse. How did Hocker win an Olympic Gold and a World Championship gold without Kenyan guys kicking his @SS in college? The Kenyans helped Hocker get faster by staying behind him, Nuguse, and Teare in races?
Clearly everyone with a brain knows the payoff involved to the guy who was going to beat Centrowitz. Do you think horseraces and NBA over/unders are the only fixed contests? The blind 1500m was run in a faster time than Centro and it wasn't because of his brilliant tactics.
Noatter what your trade is of you work with people who are smarter, experienced, or faster than you it ups your game and makes you better at your craft no matter what you do. Americans are becoming spoiled, intellectual weak, and cry babies. They can't measure up so it's better to get rid of the competition.
When the mask is removed all that's there is to blame others rather than take responsibility for your short comings. This doesn't just happen in xc but in life as well. You see this with MAGA blaming immigrants for America's short comings it's spilling into XC now. Many professional runners like Bob Kennedy went to Africa to run and it made him a better runner. Adam Goucher was never afraid and defeated the kenyans in the NCAA. This generation is a bunch of participation trophy whiners.

Wow, you're a retard. The "National" refers to the fact that the schools are in the US, not that they solely exist to serve the needs of our country.
Better tell Shohei Ohtani that he can't play in the National League, genius!
Needs to be like the EPL - only a % of players can be from other countries; the majority must be from England. Do the same with XC - the majority need to be US-born students.

It's amazing how much leftist discourse is just them pretending not to understand things, thus making discourse impossible.
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
Mommy the other boys play to hard, please give me a medal.
NCAAs should be a stepping stone to the pros. The results are reflective of reality. Which I’m sure is tough to process.

This was to enable the "home grown" rule to be enacted, whereby the Premier League would also from 2010 require at least eight members of the named 25-man squad to be "home-grown players".
At the inception of the Premier League in 1992–93, just 11 players named in the starting line-ups for the first round of matches hailed from outside of the United Kingdom or Ireland. By 2000–01, the number of foreign players participating in the Premier League was 36% of the total. In the 2004–05 season, the figure had increased to 45%. On 26 December 1999, Chelsea became the first Premier League side to field an entirely foreign starting line-up, and on 14 February 2005, Arsenal were the first to name a completely foreign 16-man squad for a match.

So, pretty much the way it is now. Yeah, fine, whatever, sign me up. Oklahoma State can have six fast Kenyans and a bunch of slow white waterboys running 1:58 for the 800 and calling ICE on car wash employees.
