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?

you're a better world citizen than I am. But I did not say there should be zero foreigners (defined either as out-of-state or out-of-country). I said there should not be zero Americans on a team. To be consistent, you should then be okay with having zero Americans in all sports at a university. And with zero American graduate students, and zero American undergraduate students.

Not that this topic is really appropriate in an ongoing tracking of a championship event, but I suspect the Federal Government would not grant too many research dollars to an all-international university, especially if that university was full of Russian and Chinese citizens.    Just sayin'.

And in that spirit, I suspect a lot of state legislatures and voters would not be eager to absorb budget deficits from a public university AD if that AD had no citizens from that state on any of the athletic teams.
