The topic is scholarships. Some of the best programs like Iowa State and Oklahoma State average 1/2 of their scorers foreigners. Most of the Kenyans are on full rides while Americans are walkons.
Does anyone have proof that Kenyans are getting a large proportion of scholarships ?
My guess is that 2-3 % of cross country scholarships go to Kenyans.
And when you look at track and field as a whole, Kenyans get perhaps 0.4%
I base this on results. If you look at the Big 12 Cross country championships for example, there are only 6 Kenyans in the top 100
However if you look at other conferences such as the ACC you find 2 Kenyans in the 150
Conference USA has about 5 Kenyans in the top 100.
And these are the schools with scorers. Schools with no scorers likely have no Kenyans and plenty of hobby joggers
