If you're doing it for financial reasons - such as a college athletic scholarship or a career in lacrosse in the MLL - you're going to be sorely disappointed. Considering that the average D1 school, if fully funded, has 12 full scholarships to divide among the players (and not evenly - not even close), you'll be luck to get book money. That said, I don't think that is why most folks are in lacrosse - it makes our boys into stronger, better, healthier, smarter men and it may be the extra edge you need to get into the school you want to attend. Academics always have to come first - unlike football, basketball, etc., there aren't many free rides in lax, and they don't really "work with you" on grades either, that's just the simple truth.
