I’m mixed on this. If you want the scholarship be better

And the truth is anyone with any real potential to be pro that is American is already easily getting a scholarship in these sports. The only person this will help is the good not great American players


It's "DEI" for American athletes. Hilarious.

Again… American universities should be primarily for the development of Americans. I’m not saying cut all internationals all together but the priority shouldn’t be bringing in internationals to win at all costs.



Then you are giving a big boost to big states like Texas (where this law is proposed) and screwing over Rhode Island and North Dakota who cannot win without a Point Guard from Slovakia or a soccer goalie from Brazil.

Bill wants to limit “athletic scholarships, grants, or other financial assistance” going to international students.

The last 2 when funded by state or university funds make sense. It makes sense for those to stay in state. Federal aid and grants also make sense to be limited to Americans.
