At 0.7 it is nearly impossible save for the very wealthiest. Hopkins is a $100K a year college without a scholarship for a Canadian. Some programs like Denver use pretty close to all their scholarship money to fund Canadians. So an indirect impact is also to make the freight higher for US recruits not getting much athletic GIA money. To the extent Canadians keep proving to be the top players makes the college scenarios much more expensive for American kids set on playing college lacrosse.
At bottom it only pays off to be a strong student and get merit based money. Then play lacrosse. I wonder how long it will be before Dino, Petro, Starsia all go 'ding ding' why don't we re-open the floodgates for 2017, 2018 players who are merit money kids and also decent recruits. If you consider a lot of 2017s committed nearly 2 years ago at the top programs, the dollar had affected the calculus for recruiting in a huge way since. This is a very material factor from 2 years ago until today.
