I can’t think of any other country that would give free money free education to a non citizen of another country
SMH !!!
Note US education is organized at the State not Federal level.... taking an overseas player is ostensibly the same as taking an out of state person --- you just have to add a visa.

The country isn't giving it away, college sports teams are (only where it makes sense to get the best athletes). College coaches are tasked with winning, not promoting US athletes. The more foreign soccer players come over to the states the more soccer gets to be a better sport here. It sounds like protectionism which isn't good for your kid. They need to become the best, not get a spot because we don't allow the best in. Right?

College soccer is horrendous on the men’s and women’s side, bringing in foreign soccer players hasn’t helped anyone or anything at all. Colleges get federal funding at certain levels , if they feel the need to import players to be the best of the best - lol - then don’t take a penny from the taxpayer. Maybe the country of Origen of said superstar can contribute.
No country anywhere even thinks about this... we r idiots

When you get to the bottom of it , it’s probably something as trivial as the coach wants a free trip to “scout” internationally, therefore he must sign someone so next years trip doesn’t get questioned.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostWe can agree that college soccer is not good , so based on that arguement , the current system of bringing in foreigners on scholarships isn’t working to elevate the level of the game. Why not distribute the scholarship money among american players. If a foreigner wants to play then they can pay themselves. It’s not like we are going to the shantytowns of South America to get players and improve lives. We are going to the Scandinavian, Australia and Western European countries.
