OT: World University Games feat. Team USA/Kansas

[Hovadipo 56,178]

Can someone tell me how this is legal? Instead of taking a regular Team USA over to the competition, it's the entire Kansas basketball team (minus Brannen Greene and the European dude) with Nic Moore from SMU. Is it just me or this total crap? Bill Self is even the frickin coach. AND they're wearing their KU unis with a USA patch on the front!

I assume this is their International Tour like we took last year, just way more competitive and awesome.

No its not an international tour like we did. Yogi and Will played for the US team in the University games a few years ago. The US team got smashed and embarrassed and finished 9th or something. This year the NCAA decided to send an actual college team in place of organizing a team like they usually had, so they sent Kansas instead. There was a process to determine which team would go.

 With the multinational recruiting these days this cant hurt with their efforts , like they need help.The rich get richer.

That's the benefit to winning at a high rate.Exposure such as this,games on aircraft carriers etc,etc.

We need to get there.
