Well over half of all world class athletes in certain

from, are students or graduates of American
universities.

I realized this again recently while watching the
World Championships in Basketball in Japan, where all
the top teams except Greece had several players who
had played or currently played for American
universities.

Promising athletes from Europe, Australia, Africa and
east-Asia, some from families poorer than any Indian
athlete, get full scholarships to attend American
universities based on their athletic talent alone as
long as they have a minimal proficiency in their
studies. There they get the best coaching and
nutrition and training facilities possible to
represent the university, and the opportunity for a
free college education, while being free to represent
their own countries in international tournaments.

Yet, few Indian athletes have taken advantage of this
opportunity, even though many of the soccer, track and
field and tennis players would certainly qualify.
