It's a top public university. Don't have to believe me, but my son has earned every penny. Don't know why any kid would want to play college sports without getting significant money. After all, it's a full time job.


Public universities can be a great option. Some offer merit money that can be earned in addition to athletic money. My daughter wants to attend a bigger school with a college town atmosphere. She had offers ranging from 35%-60% athletic money, with the possibility of up to $15k merit money based on her GPA and test scores. Just like at private schools, some players get little to no athletic money. It can be a good deal for a school's top recruits, though - even better if also an excellent student. There are a decent number of public universities with very good lacrosse and academics.
