We are already seeing this with seniors originally saying no but are no saying I am coming back for the economic reasons stated..........

I am glad they don't have to sit at home with no lacrosse and have this option to improve their educational marketability when things get back.



I am hearing the reverse as more and more schools are telling the seniors they have no money for them even schools with healthy endowments.
