Please with the straw man argument about Stanford, Duke, Northwestern. C'mon.........how many Lax players are going to those schools for engineering. Enough already. To the few who have the ability and intelligence fantastic....we applaud them..for most players school size, academics, lax, location and a number of other parameters enter into the equation..... Oh yea....tell me which one of the 3 engineering schools you mentioned is your daughter matriculated in.........crikets[/quote]

It is not a straw man argument. It is in response to the post (maybe yours) that said D1 basket weaving D2 engineering D3 Nursing, which do u want? That is the nonsense statement. It is delusional. There are as many basket weavers (actually more) at D2 schools. And the caliber of students both on the teams and in the general student population is in most cases well below dozens of very strong academic d1 schools. It is just frustrating to watch u all try to state otherwise. State the D2 school you want to establish as the great academic powerhouse. If you can't name it/them, then u have no point.
