FWIW, I've been hearing from multiple DC sources that the idea of "international athletes taking American athletic scholarships" is a concern gaining traction among conservative lawmakers. Don't be surprised to see this end up in a federal bill in the near future. https://t.co/rWHXYVEl5R
There are a couple legitimate ways to justify such restrictions. The one that makes the most sense to me is European sports leagues have limits on the number of non-European players they can have on a roster (for soccer it is typically 2-3). Comparable treatment is reasonably justifiable.

NCAA is a college competition not a geographically based competition. Being a part of the NCAA means it's for college students. College students come from everywhere. How do you guys not understand this. And no college isn't only for 18-22 year olds. Go compete at the US championships instead...oh wait too slow 😂. Go dII or Naia simple solution

Terrible idea. We should help Trump take over Greenland. Then send all the conservatives and they can set rules where nobody can come visit them.
Name one thing conservative lawmakers have made better.
National Parks. Teddy Roosevelt helped CONSERVE 230 million acres of public lands that became National Parks.
You want more than one? How about the EPA, Clean Air Act, and Clean Water Act.
George H.W. Bush was the first presidential candidate to campaign on the issue of climate change and called himself an environmentalist. As President he started the National Climate Assessment and the US Global Change Research Program, and signed the Global Change Research Act of 1990 and 1990 Clean Air Act amendments targeting acid rain.
Do yall think anything will come of this? What other sports besides track may have a heavy presence of foreigners on a single team that lawmakers have in mind for something like this?
Public universities are administered by the states, not the federal government. The federal government should have little say in how they are run besides making sure they adhere to certain educational criteria. A lack of exposure to those with diverse views and upbringings does a disservice to American students.
Also, its in the US best interest to educate top students, including top athletes, from around the world because many become US citizens after following all the rules and laws around US residence and visas, and stay here. Some go on to represent the US in international competition. Think of stars like Lagat who were proud to represent the US.
Lets say this passes though - who will be most effected? We could call it the anti-New Mexico XC bill. We will ensure BYU distance domination for a generation with a law like this.

Simple, then, tie the number of scholarships to the foreign student population. Since foreigners make up 6% of students, they should receive 6% of scholarships. If more want to come, that is fine, but they will have to finance their own way.

Will 2025 end up being when NCAA track and field has jumped the shark?

Soccer, golf, tennis, basketball, ice hockey and skiing.
