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
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]
Amonte has so many kids begging to get in that she has a 50 mile distance requirement. She is doing less teams but charging a ton [/quote]
The "50 mile radius" is a requirement by the NCAA which any college coach who starts a club program has to abide by.
As far as Shannon Smith and Hofstra goes winning at an average academic private college with the way the NCAA restrictions are is next to impossible. You are only able to give out 12 scholarships which means you have to convince players and families to fork out a good chunk of money to come play at your school. The Ivys(or that level of school) and state schools have huge advantage.
