[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]17:42, let's answer this once and for all - being recruited by a D3 coach, and getting a green light after a pre-read is priceless - admission to some of the finest academic institutions in the nation.[/quote]

Priceless?  [/quote]

D3 schools are some of the best academic institutions in the country.  It is insanely hard to gain admission without a hook.  For a white upper-middle class kid from a place like DC or Baltimore lacrosse is that hook.  Gaining admission to a school you would otherwise not get into, paving the way for a bright future?  That’s hard to quantify.  So maybe priceless?[/quote]

Or maybe useless. And there have been attempts to quantify it.

A Princeton professor did a study a number of years ago that showed that Princeton athletes had post-graduation careers that very closely mapped to the careers of athletes with the same academic qualifications (SAT scores, Class Rank and GPA) who attended large State universities.

Attendance at an Ivy League school did not have the affect people thought it had.[/quote]
