Did you ever play college lacrosse? Syracuse is a fully funded program so therefore they have 12.0 scholarships to award per team. With that being said, in a perfect world, big time programs such as Cuse give their top 8 players from each recruiting class a 25% athletic scholarship. However, the coaches can certainly allocate the scholarship money to their discretion so each recruiting class could certainly be different (i.e. 2 players receive a 50% scholarship, 3 get 33.33% and the rest allocated based on the coaches decision which could mean they can save 1 scholarship for the next recruiting class). But yes, there are certainly a handful of players who do not receive any athletic money,however, there are a lot of players who receive academic money as well.
How do you know this?
