[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The field hockey and lacrosse teams are no different.[/quote]

Incredibly different. Where I live, there have been field hockey and lacrosse teams, for generations, in school districts at all income levels.

This is not even close to the same thing as an individual, niche sport, often played outside of school and favored by well to do families.[/quote]

I was talking about at the college level, and where I live they’re rich kid sports. [/quote]

This is true of most non-revenue sports, gymnastics, swim, volleyball, even baseball. Basically any sport that is pay to play at the level where recruitment occurs is going to be a rich kid sport [/quote]

DP. We are lower lower middle class by DCUM standards and ds did cross country and track at an SLAC. He was on significant financial aid. The students on the team ate all meals together (so you’d be the loner if you went off the meal plan when you are allowed to) and there were practices six days per week with unpredictable schedules, making it difficult to work during the school year.

D3 sports are for rich kids in general. [/quote]
