BAN International Athletes at colleges?

Now look at NCAA outdoor 10,000m top 8 (all American). 7 are non-American. Dumba$$

Why single out Kenyans?

I think you forgot to highlight the first clause of my sentence, where I said this is accounting for the new 10 man (and woman) roster limits that will go into effect in August. Arkansas has 3 Kenyans on their men's team. Alabama has EIGHT, 4 men and 4 women. Oklahoma has SEVEN (with 6 of them being men).

So actually I was right about my initial claim that multiple SEC teams will have 1/3 Kenyan rosters with the new roster limits. In fact, Oklahoma will have double that, with 60 % of their mens' roster being Kenyan. So in conclusion, I was correct initially and you are wrong.

The fact that the top runners are Kenyans doesn't mean most scholarships are going to Kenyans you clown
For example, the Conference USA cross country championships had 3 Kenyans in the top 10. Does this mean 30% of scholarships go to Kenyans. No. You would have to be a clown to conclude that.
Because the list of top 150 finishers only had 5 Kenyans. Which means the number of Kenyans on scholarship is about 3% or less.
Most Cross country rosters have no Kenyans. Try the University of Wisconsin or the University Minnesota or just throw a dart on any school and find out how many have Kenyans. The reality is very few cross country rosters actually have Kenyans.
Stop with this ill-informed xenophobia.

Exact same tactic as the people on the pro trans athlete threads. "It's not happening, but if it is it is a good thing and you are a bigot for noticing" Sorry, we can all see what is happening in both cases, and would like for it to stop. How about you defend this on its actual merits instead of resorting to denial?

This is all conjecture. Nobody knows what will happen if and when roster spots are reduced.
And again Alabama is an exception where 8 out of 108 roster sports go to Kenyans. Most D1 schools have zero, one or two Kenyans.

Are you really this ignorant ?
Recruiting foreigners is a good thing !
America recruits foreigners in every field. Grad schools recruit PostDocs and Grad assistants from overseas. When I was in college, all the PhDs, Grad Assistants and Postdocs in the Chemistry department were Chinese students. Their research and teaching propelled the school and the students.
Recruiting the best talent sharpens the locals. It enables cross learning and forces the locals to sharpen their game. This is one of the ideas that has made America great.

Should add NAU as it isn't high on the academic list either and definitely far below AZ State and the U of A.

The best way to motivate a runner is to expose them to top competition. The top Americans are not going to back down or complain like you lot.. Instead they will be motivated to show the Kenyans who's boss. Kenyan runners have been sharpening American collegiate runners for 50 years. Only good has come out of it.

Dozens upon dozens of runners including Americans head to Kenya to train in the off season. They don't go there because of the altitude. They go there because the intense competition of running against Kenyans motivates and sharpens them.

You sound very ignorant. There are 8000 colleges in the US. US news ranks Iowa State 121 and 43rd best engineering school. Your comment is like saying a 3:55 mile isn't good for a college runner.

Funny how you never seem to address the elephant in the room - recruiting 28 year old semi-pro runners to smash some 18 year old freshman. Do you really think that is fair?

Yes !
Its a good thing. Why do you think Europeans have become so good at basketball ?
Its because some like Djokovic and Donkic go pro as early as age 14.

When you are a teen and you have to constantly measure yourself against grown men, it motivates and sharpens you. More importantly, it humbles you by making you realize how hard you have to work in order to be as good as the pros.

Americans do the opposite. Why do you think Zion Williamson has wasted his talent ?
Its because as a teenager, he had the body of a grown man. So it was like a grown adult playing against kids.
Go watch the videos of Zion that went viral when he was in high school. He was basically like a grown man playing against kids who are about to go to prom.

Because it was so easy for him, he was not motivated. He has grown into a poorly motivated pro with no work ethic, whose weight keeps ballooning and who has no moves coz he is not motivated to work on his weaknesses.

If you are an 18 year old and you cower and back down to a 28 year old, then you have no future as a pro. If instead you use it as motivation, learn from the 28 year old and compete with him daily in practice then you have a solid future as a pro.

It doesn't seem to have helped American women.

I understand that some 4:40 milers are on the roster bit are they really getting money or is the money going to the sprinter/jumpers on the roster?

Its highly unlikely that the top Americans who have the potential to go pro or semi-pro are going to miss out on scholarships.

You are incorrect. I know 2 female pros and 1 male pro who started as walk-ons. They may not have even earned a roster spot under the new rules.

You are shifting the goalposts. Both my initial comment and your response were regarding the SEC. I gave you three examples of SEC schools that will have at least 3/10 Kenyan roster come August, meeting the demands of my argument. You now want to shift this to "most D1 schools" because you can't refute me.

There is nothing about this that is conjecture. The roster limits have been voted on and have been publicized for months now. It does not take a genius to figure out that the full-scholarship Kenyans will not be the ones getting the boot.

Your other comment about grad students and scientists is also shifting the goalposts. The subject of this thread is ATHLETIC SCHOLARSHIPS. If you find me a Kenyan that can cure cancer or Alzheimer's I will be happy to give him a scholarship for that.
