Equally, dumb. Generally, the value proposition for lacrosse isn’t there. The likelihood you will make a ROI by reclassing and going private is highly unlikely. Football, baseball, basketball has an argument. Lacrosse? No chance; no real nil dollars, no viable follow on league to go pro and actually pay bills. At best you get some d1 dollars toward tuition, if, you’re a stud. Save your money and your parents, do well in school, continue to play through college and at the end of 4 years get on with life. Anything else is a waste of time and money.
If it helps you get into a college you would otherwise be rejected from, it’s worth it. Or at least that’s the calculus for most private school parents. Certainly not because lax is lucrative. Then again, it’s been a virtual pipeline from some D1 and D3 schools lax team programs to a high finance or consulting job. Which, like college itself, may be a dying ecosystem, but that’s always been the dominant logic behind the reclass, not making a living from actually playing the sport.
