The reason foreign students were banned from the annual college marathon is because certain schools were basically "importing" teams, giving them scholorships just to run that race. It was a punishment against the schools, not the runners.

How would that be different from American schools recruting from other countries for their baseball/football/soccer teams? There was no ban there nor will there ever be.

2 hr in the morning & 2 hr at night

4 hr X 5 days = 20 hr a week X 52 weeks = 1040 hr a year. But I am healthy and I was able to marry a Japanese supermodel

If you want to call them "students". These were dudes from Kenya and other places in Africa, mostly, who were given scholarships at Japanese Universities, and they didn't speak Japanese. There surely were incentives for them to come, and I guess it sucks for them, but it's not like they had were kicked out of some Japanese university they had applied and got accepted to.

The few Japanese I talked to about it called it poor sportmanship for those Universities to ship in runners specifiacally for that one race.
