This applies to just a handful of kids. Again delusional parents for the most part. Talk about the bottom 97% of kids that's more realistic the talk about ivies and full rides is overpowering on here[/quote].

Just apply that principle to any school, doesn't need to be an Ivy. If lax give your kid an opportunity to get into "any school" that they normally would not have gotten into, that is great. Where most of the parents fail is choosing a school just because the coaches showed interest. I get it, many will have limited options, and I feel many , many make bad choices just to save face and be a part of college lacrosse. It may indeed be wiser to walk away from lax if it doesn't put your kid in an ideal situation education wise, but too many parents are too proud to let that happen.
