[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why is lacrosse so popular with universities? It is not like it has value beyond college.[/quote]

Lacrosse players are often full-pay well-off families.  Not only tuition but shows dividends with annual giving.  Not to mention adding a lot to the school network.  A wise “investment” for any school, especially for D3 liberal arts schools.[/quote]

Indeed. Some struggling smaller Midwest schools are actually starting lacrosse programs to help bring in students who are willing to pay full freight to be part of a college lacrosse team  Kid gets to say they were “recruited” and a college athlete, school hits enrollment and reveunue target.

Pick any D3 liberal arts college ranked in the USNWR top 50 with a lacrosse program.  The majority of the kids on the roster are from fancy boarding and private schools.  It’s a win-for the students and a win for the colllege.  The only downside to this symbiotic relationship is that the lacrosse players are not a particularly diverse crowd.[/quote]
