Yeah, 12 scholarships divided amongst the roster of 25+. No one is getting anything close to half via athletic money. It's simple math. They might be getting $ from other places, but it's not athletic. Even if the NCAA allows 12 scholarships per team, that in no way guarantees the program is fully funded and even able to finance 12 scholarships. Lacrosse is not a money-making college sport, the programs do not have the funds football and men's basketball command.
Keep in mind that parents will tell you things that may not be strictly true. You might be hearing so-and-so got "a full ride" or "50%" but that doesn't mean it's actually happening, and college athetics departments are not sharing that info either. Lots of room for spin here, and let's face it, plenty of people are going to varnish the truth to justify what they spent getting to that point, or to glorify their kid, or whatever.
Powder finger you are wrong - my daughter is a 2014 player mentioned on the YJ list -I'm sure people make stuff up and she along with many others are getting over 50% in athletic $ - academics will hopefully pick up the rest for my daughter. You dont get top teams offering players 25% no one will come. You are correct that the good seniors will get a full ride. So maybe you are giving 4 or 5 kids fills plus an occasional superstar freshman- you still have $ to offer quite a few 50%. We have just finished the recruiting process so this is fact
