That's how we have been at the top, though other countries are catching up. We (UConn) have our own share of contributors, from Doron Sheffer to Nika/Aaliyah/Dorka, etc. in sports. I'm sure countless non-athlete students are at UConn with scholarships and they are contributing immensely to the university's name, and to our country. I got a scholarship as an international grad student in late 80s at UConn, my three PhD advisors were from Israel, Canada, and India, all renowned in their fields. The coaches know the relative talents of players and they try to recruit the best, their jobs depend on it. [/QUOTE]
