Maryland has the Number 1 incoming class... but there are [b]12 incoming Freshman[/b]! . there cant be a lot of scholarship passed around.. I figure they're whacking up 2.5 or 3 max scholarships between the 12 of them..


10 of the 12 freshmen are "in-state" players and keep in mind that not all recruits are equal nor do all recruits receive the same scholarship $$. Scholarship dollars go a long way to the in-state recruits. It is my understanding that coaches have at their disposal a "dollar amount" for athletic scholarships. That dollar amount is calculated by the number of scholarships multiplied by the cost to attend the university (tuition, room and board, fees, books etc..) I believe they use "out of state tuition" in the formula. So, lets say 12 x $50,000 (aprox) = $600,000 per year.

If someone has country info please elaborate.

If that is the way it works, the coach can make it very affordable for the players and that is why Maryland has such a huge advantage.



That is completely wrong .The coaches have 12 scholarships to work with , if you give an instate player a 50% cost of attendance it still equals 0.5 out of those 12 even thou its about a $14,000 monetary value. Give an out of state player a 50 % cost of attendance scholarship and it also equals 0.5 out of the 12 total but it value is closer to $26,000. those two players taken together would be equal to 1 full ride out of the 12 total they can give, in other words their scholarships count the same toward that total of 12.[/quote]

looks to me the only assumption that might be wrong is the calculation of in-state vs out of state $$. In any event, Maryland has a big advantage over other programs. Maryland can offer an in-state player 1/3 scholarship and the cost to attend is very reasonable. That same player would be paying significantly more to attend UNC, UVA , Florida or PSU if offered 1/3 as an out of state student. The cost is way more if the player is offered 1/3 at Duke, Northwestern, Notre Dame or Boston College. If the players parents earn a little too much money Princeton and Penn will cost a boat load... if the parents have multiple kids in college and are of modest means Penn or Princeton's cost would probably be in line with a small in-state scholarship offer from MD. Any way you slice it Maryland has a leg up on the competition. [/quote]

Actually the point was more that the way you were calculating the scholarships was not correct in regard to in state players. The reason MD has a leg up is that for in state layers with little to no money given its still reasonable and MD has alot of good players. In terms of education level MD is not even close to being on level with any of the schools you mentioned other than PSU which can be looked at as a positive or a negative from a lacrosse standpoint.
