Uncertainty for International Players

[NYC ZIP]

ESPN article about possible visa difficulties for international players given new immigration policies. This could impact the Zips somewhat, but could crush teams like Marshall, West Virginia, Pitt, Seton Hall, Vermont, and many others that have heavy non US rosters.

Clearing international student requirements was the job Anne Jorgenson was responsible for in the past, and she was expert at understanding a very complicated landscape. I'm certainly disappointed to read that she got swept up in the ineptitude of the earlier Athletic Director.  Any ideas if or how the change is effecting international recruiting?  I believe coach Ger was the lead on overseas recruitment.

I think the bigger issue is how the government visa restrictions will affect international recruiting. ADs' and coaches' hands are tied; that's what "we" voted for.
