It's gonna be interesting to see how the US adapts to the influx of "foreigners" in the NCAA

I watched the Aggies fans chanting “USA, USA” when Tristan was at the line.

I wonder if we will see a quota put on non-US players at some point?

I wouldn't count on it ...

At that level the dollar signs always seem to outweigh the greencard status (ask Gonzaga about Bol Kong). If they wanted to cap the amount of non-US players, then a lot of the WCC schools would be down to half a team (think Gonzaga, Saint Mary’s) not to mention Nicholls State and the many Aussies that have played there in recent years.

It's hard to predict the irrational

Burlington has put a quota on non-Burlington residents who play on their Rep teams for all sports. Politicians love to use emotionally charged issues as voter bait, With the rise of the tea party, anything is possible in the U.S..
