    International players in college

    Check these two rosters:

    http://fmuathletics.com/roster.aspx?path=msoc
    http://seahawks.gonorthwood.com/spor...2014-15/roster

    How exactly are Florida schools able to attract so many international students? Especially small NAIA schools?

    Typically, over 50% of all college rosters (at least men) come from international students. But how do they find them and recruit them?

    They have agencies in Europe for the sole purpose of sending players to US colleges, since they have to pay in Europe to go to school, this seems like a no brainer. Most of these kids play for free here and then go back home to use the degree they got in the US. The ones that stay become DOC's right out of college......it's sad! None of these players will play pro in Europe....just PDL here!

      Since when was Argentina in Europe and how many do you think are playing for free. They come for the education and the friendship on the field. Did you know that Americans also go overseas for college to South America and Europe as well some for one year, others for two and still others for four. Some are even on the teams over there so they get to see more of the nation when the team travels.

      It is about the experience.

        This Sheet has to change for our kids. I can see a 20% of international students but sometimes it's over 50% at some schools. That's BS !!!

            Not sure about NAIA but the NCAA is already in the process of putting limits on foreign player imports as they are working with the US Soccer Federation to promote The US System.

              Argentina produces more players then Europe combined, so this is not surprising. But most of these kids were cut by the academies at home. So vacation time:)

                They probably have the most but also a lot in D2. Check out the roster for Lynn University:

                  This is why it is tough for boys in the US to get a college scholarship. First you have title 9 that causes a lot of large football schools to not even offer men's college soccer (just womens to counter all the football scholarships that they give out). Then what little scholarships are left for the men are taken up by foreigners.

                    The sad fact for American players is that many of these players have played professionally at some level. At the Division 2 and 3 levels birth certificates are seldom, if ever, verified.
                    A foreign player might play 2-3 years professionally and realize he is not going to advance any further. There are "recruiters" whose purpose is to place them with American Colleges, where often they attend for free, and can get a paid for degree. The College picks up an older player, with experience. Kind of a no brainer when the competition is doing it and the NCAA could care less.

                    How do you explain a graduating player whose age is over 25 (just go back and look at Univ. Tampa or Linn over the years)? Many Swedish players receive direct compensation from the Swedish Govt. Old saying: Life is not fair, and here's your perfect example. Until the NCAA chooses to enforce the "amateur" status of foreign players, it's not changing folks.

                      Get better or quit, but nobody like whiners.

                        Or work to establish an even playing ground. Time to abolish title 9 and enforce amaturism for college athletes.

                          There is something that many of you are missing. Many players that come from outside the US and have a great work ethic, show humility, and have a better soccer education.

                          Many players from outside the US appreciate what is given to them. Please talk to some of these foreign players. Growing up I bet many of these players have experienced going hungry and were not sure when their next meal was. That feeling will never leave their body and helps drive them to succeed.

                          Many (not all) Americans feel entitled and do not understand what what it is to work hard. Reading this thread people want rules put in place to give them or their child an advantage. That is entitlement.

                          Put yourself in a college coaches position that wants a successful college soccer program. Where would you recruit.

                          Note: The roster showing a list of all foreign players shows that the American dream is still out there and recognized by many people abroad. I wish all players well and this game should be used to promote love and peace not negative blogging.

                            The reality...on the boys side

                            I played club ball in Florida and went on to play collegiate soccer at 2 schools both top level programs and national honors. both rosters 60-70% foreign born players. As many indicated in today's world, the foreign born player has the advantage in all four phases of the game AND does not have whining parents hunting down coaches with millions of questions. American parents are to blame for making adolescence last way to long.

                              I would recruit wherever I wanted to vacation every year.
                              Imagine if I went to Europe or South America and didn't recruit anyone, my boss wouldn't let me go back the next year. Most coaches are foreigners who "know how to play football" because its the only sport they have played.
                              Colleges need to have more American coaches, the US has had soccer in this country long enough to understand the strategies and training needed to be competitive.
