NO! Parents like the idea of their kid going to a good school, getting a good job, and moving out of their basement.
It just so happens, great schools have lacrosse programs and parents see it as an opportunity to get into a better school otherwise unobtainable.
There is virtually no opportunity to make a comfortable living playing lacrosse. But, there are great networks from these great schools in very lucrative industries.

Well said. The bottom line is securing a GREAT education and landing a job. Your ability to network bec of playing college lacrosse is what parents are seeking for their sons.
We all have learned: it is not what you know, it is who you know that counts. It did not take relaying the game of lacrosse to teach me that.
Regarding the other post about verbal commitments: when your son gets his, make sure you turn it down or keep your mouth shut and do not tell anyone.
