[quote=Anonymous]Growth of lacrosse last year was about 3% according to U.S. lacrosse. Not sure how reliable those stats are, but lacrosse is clearly not an emerging growth sport right now. There are non revenue NCAA sports for men and women which are much more favorable for scholarship money capacity than lacrosse. Tennis teams, soccer, swimming, volleyball and most others have constrained rosters versus the scholarship money. Looking at ratios, 12.6 in mens lacrosse over 45-75 players is the worst sport by far using that ratio as a measure. If the argument is that lacrosse can get kids into selective colleges, that's a good point. But the economics of the sport (club fees, events travel, instructional or showcase events, prep school tuitions for many) versus the yield potential to play college if that is the be all end all...makes lacrosse players and parents look very stupid. But we already knew that. [/quote]
