quote] Any chance SS takes a demotion to go assist Amonte-Hiller at NU in order to reset her career?
She makes more money from Tg than she can ever get paid by Hofstra or any other school - at the end of the day nobody cares about women's lax other than those playing and their parents
And that's what wrong with the sport. Club rules everything including US Lax. You are right TG and YJ and... are printing money to place most girls at mediocre academic institutions with so so lacrosse. The handful born with ability would do just fine without club lacrosse. The bottom 95% are being taken for a ride. Plus there is way more security from parents willing to pay then a college that might grow tired of the losses [/quote]
Others are jumping onto the bandwagon - Amonte has "WildCats Elite" out of Chicago and Gait just stared his own club in the Syracuse area - follow the money[/quote]
I think "jumping on the bandwagon" when referring to Amonte-Hiller is misplaced. First of all, she has had Wildcat Elite for a long time. Secondly, it is very small. I think it may only be 1 or 2 age groups. She makes plenty of money thru coaching, camps and endorsements. She doesn't run the Wildcat Elite program for monetary reasons. She has been probably the single most influential person in spreading the women's lacrosse game west from the east coast and continues to influence the growth of the game. Some people aren't all about the money, and Wildcat Elite is much more about spreading the love of the game, than making money. Sorry, just had to point out that there are passionate, well-intentioned people out there as well. I'm not saying she isn't hyper-competitive, she is, but it isn't always, or even often, about the money to some people.
