A C average at an ivy or getting pushed out because of bad grades doesn't get you far. Good grades in hs get you moremoney than lacrosse will. The days of getting great jobs just because you played lacrosse are over So time for parents to get a reality check. Any sport is great for the kids that enjoy the sport but being a great lacrosse player now only gives you a great opportunity to be a lacrosse coach


Absolutely one of the most misguided posts I' have read here. The lacrosse pipeline to corporate jobs is alive and well and will continue to be for many years. I am speaking from personal experience on this.
