ignorant statement for many reasons...
1 - ... not a kid in the world, would pass up an IVY opportunity, for Lax in Staten Island (given the chance)
2- Does Hampton, monmouth, wagner etc compete every year against Cornell, Brown, UPenn, Harvard, Yale, Princeton?? non league - teams like Carolina, Denver?
3- teams in top conferences such as ACC, IVY, and are subject up/down cycles based on coaches,Administrative support, etc, but will always attract top talent - Carolina missed the final 4 for 25 years, Princeton in 20...
4- IVY offers - now free tuition (not athletic scholarships) if you qualify for financial assistance, to really level the playing field.
5- IVY benefits from Nationwide talent draw from explosive High Schools lax expansion
