And the other poster is right, high school sports like lacrosse shouldn't be sullied by recruiting basically carving kids out of the sport at their schools. If alums base their contributions to a prep school based in the sports teams, that explains a lot. The endowments at MIAA schools aren't very high, the college matriculations from those schools is weak (for a laugh look at BL's over the last 5-10 years), and it seems to me pretty close to 100% of MIAA grads return to Baltimore after college...mostly because better professional careers aren't awaiting them elsewhere. Do you guys like to sit at the bar in Mt Washington talking about the team of '78? Cougars love that. Not.


There are so many fallacies in this statement, I don't even know where to begin.
