You know who hasn’t been had? All the kids who get into great academic D3 schools like Amherst, tufts and Williams because of lacrosse who wouldn’t have had a chance without it. A lot of those kids will make back the investment ten fold that their parents made to propel their lacrosse careers.
What kids got into any of these schools based on lacrosse? Silly statement, the kids who play there have the grades. That's it, not a bunch of 80 students with 1050 SAT getting in. Matter of fact a 1200 with b's is getting a kid accepted.
I have older kids so this conversation has been discussed a lot on the older boys pages Lacrosse does help to a certain point. You are correct no kid with a 80-85 average and 1200 is getting in. It does help with the kids who are boarder line. It also helps with the admissions process for those who have the grades.
The reality is that I e seem so many disappointed parents. They thought lax would get their kid into these schools and it did not.
How many kids do these teams take per year how many kids try for those spots. The math says more are disappointed at the results.
