[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We know plenty of lacrosse kids who got significant merit aid at low D1 or D3 schools by dropping down multiple levels academically.

This made college very affordable for their family and allowed them to continue with playing lacrosse, which were their top two priorities.

The only way to have a shot at everything (lacrosse and top-tier academics) is to be full-pay. Or to be exceptional on both fronts and get into an Ivy or Duke, Stanford, Northwestern, Vandy etc. Or to play club. It is what it is. [/quote]

Things have changed recently but at least historically, for lax there were not a ton of scholarships, even at the top schools. I think it was capped at about 12 so there were lots of partial scholarships, etc. (since a team has 40ish players). That number was recently bumped a lot and schools are figuring out how to navigate the new rules as it is a huge increase in the scholarship budget to fully fund the new number, and most schools can't afford to do that for all sports, especially with lots of money now being diverted to NIL for the big sports.[/quote]
