@NILnotNLI Bottom line: as tennis programs continue to sell out and betray Americans, they are only destroying themselves. American slots for American players ONLY is the path to restoration.

@NILnotNLI Here’s the pattern: 1. a school gives all roster spots to foreign players (100% foreign on Averett’s men’s team) 2. the grassroots community loses interest 3. revenue drops 4. schools cut the program to save money for NIL (no American parents to protest)

77.77% of D1 Men’s Tennis Singles “ALL-AMERICANS” are not … AMERICANS

@NILnotNLI … and roster spots at American colleges and universities should be reserved for Americans

[Justin Krewatch @krewatch2812]

@johnm11088928 @On3 I know with D1 tennis, schools argue that US players are NOT GOOD ENOUGH for the slots. But here’s the vision - American slots for American kids. Give them the opportunity to develop and grow their game and to pay for their education. Let Italy do the same for its kids, etc.

[Justin Krewatch @krewatch2812]

@johnm11088928 @On3 Yes, “follow the money” is a wise axiom. Respectfully, though, I am for protecting collegiate athletic slots for Americans regardless of the economics. A strong federal law would keep our colleges from selling these slots to the highest bidder.

@johnm11088928 @On3 Do you mind explaining a little more …

@mo463921211 @On3 Totally - we are feeding the world but starving our own - crazy

@USDmtennis Nice … but kind of a misnomer, don’t you think?

@therealjakeeeee @AdeleCulp @TennisRecNet @UVAMensTennis Selling out Americans is the only soft thing going on here.

[Justin Krewatch @krewatch2812]

@AdeleCulp @TennisRecNet @UVAMensTennis Actually, foreign players destroy the grassroots support of American collegiate tennis programs and make them easy targets for elimination in our NIL era. That’s the price for selling out American scholar-athletes in pursuit of “winning”.

[Justin Krewatch @krewatch2812]

@TheTennisLetter A great win for the gritty American. Maybe Americans would be more competitive in majors if we protected their NCAA roster spots. Hijikata took one of those slots at UNC. He’s Australian.

[Justin Krewatch @krewatch2812]

@MegynKellyShow D1 tennis has created its own perfect storm. By betraying American scholar-athletes and giving their slots to internationals, these programs have destroyed American community support. Low support, low revenue programs that are easy to cut since the only blowback is overseas!

[Justin Krewatch @krewatch2812]

@CTennisNation A self-made crisis. D1 tennis has sold out Americans giving most slots and scholarships to internationals (tennis leads NCAA in this respect). No community connection- tough to cheer for that 26 year Serbian who isn’t coming back. Americans first in college sports or no sports.

[Justin Krewatch @krewatch2812]

@WashTimesSports College tennis programs are expendable because they are disconnected from their American communities - because they have given away more slots and scholarships to international players than any other NCAA sport. A self-made crisis. Build an American wall around the NCAA.

[Justin Krewatch @krewatch2812]

@ITA_Tennis It’s tough to cheer for a 26 year-old Serbian national who is playing NCAA tennis in a slot stolen from an American citizen. Maybe connection would grow and revenue would increase if NCAA tennis was restored to Americans to pay for their education and grow their athletic talent.

[Justin Krewatch @krewatch2812]

@College10sRanks @tennis4life13 Let’s have Americans make that decision. If they want NCAA sports to primarily be a vehicle to fund education for American citizens, then that’s a “win”. A college tennis team that wins an NCAA title with 100% non-US players is a loss for American citizens.

[Justin Krewatch @krewatch2812]

@College10sRanks If college tennis team with 100% non-US players wins an NCAA championship, is that a “win”?

[Justin Krewatch @krewatch2812]

@College10sRanks The ad hominem attack here on Patrick McEnroe is unhelpful and dodges the central issue he has raised: Why are American colleges and universities - built with American hands and American money on American soil - serving the rest of the world at the expense of its own citizens?
