The issue afflicts other college sports such as tennis. As I recall when Stanford W tennis won the championship 2 years ago, our championship opponent Texas A&M had zero players from the U.S. on its team.
Seems pretty parochial to me, if not a bit of sour grapes. Why wouldn't your opinion apply to states as well? Only California kids at California schools, for example. No damn foreigners! Well, except that Australian woman ball player. Or can we consider Australia America, just like Canada?
