The 7,000 difference came from my daughter getting 25K a year versus her friend getting 18K a year. 25-18=7,000. So 7,000 x 4 years of college= 28k less than if this girl went in as a walk on plus all the money they spent on camps/tournaments plus traveling expenses over the years.

In other words my non lacrosse daughter came out 28 k ahead than this girl did.

There daughter loved her sport and Im sure enjoyed all the time playing, her parents said perhaps she should have just applied based on her SAT scores/grades and then walked on, they would have been 28K ahead.
