For mine, no need based possible which is ok. But then you get offered a 20% athletic to a $60k school and there is no merit money. Your kid is thrilled and the local lax community thinks you hit it big...

So now you have to pay $48k per year to say you went to blah blah school. What if parent can only pay half of the 48, is it reasonable to allow your kid to borrow $100k to attend blah blah school. Not in my mind, much better to focus on schools with merit money, sorry patriot league.



Any NO ONE EVER TALKS ABOUT THE $5,000+ per year they paid into lacrosse since the 3rd grade! That could be about $50,000 over those 10 years. If you break the $50,000 over the 4 years of college now your $48,000 school is $50,000!
