You'll receive the same college education as your teammate who's parent spent 100k over 4 years with the same level of athletic/academic scholarship. You'll have the same college network post graduation.
Same network? You are from Baltimore right? People tell you their high school when asked where you went to school. That is the network. On top of that if you play lacrosse but not in the top 1% then you need the education and credentials to get you in to a good college or walk on the team. So no on all of your arguments unless you are really that good. What else do you have?
