For some reason, most people throughout the NCAA on tennis scholarships are international students. I'm not sure why that is. But yeah, if they recruited local people instead, they'd probably lose every game, but would save a lot of money.

I guess not a lot of Americans care to play that in college. UCSB's women's tennis roster this year was entirely comprised of eight international players, although one attended high school in Illinois.

UCSB's men's team only had one American-born player on their roster, plus a player who was born in London but grew up in New York. Just one of those things, I guess.

They can get better players internationally.
