Not that I know of, but with the number of talented Canadians playing in the NCAA, I like the idea of playing a game up there.
Canadians, Europeans, Asians, Africans, Central Americans, hel-, every "ians". I have said it before, if a foreigner wants to get an american education, alright, if he/she wants to play sports while they get educated, the let them play intramural sports. Not take up a scholarship that is likely paid for by some type of tax by the state residents (unless private school). Not to mention it knocks some america kid out of the picture. It irks me to hear golfers, basketball players, track stars, etc. from around the world being announced as graduates or "attendees" having played for some U.S. college. Just rename the NCAA to International Collegiate Athletic Association.
Lol If a Dirk Nowitzki wants to play at Tennessee you expect him to walk on just because he wasn't born in the states? I say roll out the red carpet to get the best here. I dont care if they are from Mars ala Space Jam. Recruit the best. The NBA is the NATIONAL basketball association and they accept the best from anywhere. So NCAA the same. Bring the best to Tennessee.Canadians, Europeans, Asians, Africans, Central Americans, hel-, every "ians".

Let me guess. You were wearing a MAGA hat and watching Fox News when you typed this.
I dont care where they are from if they help UT win...
What if i told you...... we are almost all foreigners. Im caucasian but far enough back you can trace my family coming from over seas. Lineage is a crazy thing. Sooner or later none of us beling on this continent lol.That's just the problem for me. I guess I'm too much USA American to want to see any sports team with half or better of their players from other countries. No team, league or other entity should be allowed to call themselves "National" if foreigners are involved.
And no, I am not comfortable with foreigners playing at UT or any other american college. It bothers the hell out of me to see them beat an american in international competition and find out that we nurtured them in our systems. I'm sorry, but this is the way I feel. I don't care win or lose, for me we lose regardless of the final game score when we involve/rely of foreigners.
