If your son is a top level player, yes! If he has great grades, yes. Combine the two, and you can get some serious cash. between the two it is possible to get North of 55%+. If your family qualifies for need based aid, there's even more money to be had. With regard to the top programs, I'm hearing many are making ZERO $ offers and parents are all too willing to accept. Coaches are all too happy to save the money for the stud that doesn't qualify for Academic money. Many early recruits are giving a verbal for less than $5,000 per year. Add in the fact that Roster sizes are ballooning to over 60+ players at some top Lax programs, and the amount of money to go around continues to dwindle. If you have a 42-44 man roster there's more to go around and the better players will definitely get more at that top 20-30 level school. For those where finances are a consideration, and your son has great grades, and is a great player, you can do very well.
