[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is the IWCLA the only coaches asking for a delay in recruiting? It's their choice of how sign committed athletes but why punish the men's and other women's sports because of the purported need to see athlete play in person - either financial (clinics, camps, $) or inability to use modern coaching practices - film, HS/club references, etc. Maybe it's a training issue IWCLA needs to address[/quote]

Let's be crystal clear about the rationale behind this change that the NCAA is set to rubber stamp, its all about personal economics. Period. Part of it is clearly COVID, part of it is also the  seniors and juniors that were granted additional eligibility but at least 50 percent or more of it is the lose of the camps and clinic revenues. Boys programs operate completely differently, as they have more showcases with free film to all coaches. In contrast, the girls area under the misimpression that by going and paying the $300 camp/clinic fees will help guarantee them a slot. It doesn't. Pure and simple. Can it maybe help on the margins, possibly. But thats maybe 1/100 girls. So the other 99 are simply fodder for the revenue to the lacrosse programs, which should have always rightfully gone to the schools themself and not the lacrosse program. This is pretty simply. Personal economics is driving this. No college coaches go to see girls during their high school seasons. So whats left - the 4 to 6 week window from mid June to late July, because recall August 1 has always been the start of the dark period for coaches. Why? So that they could preserve their vacations and that is straight from the horses' mouths to the NCAA. If your daughter loves the sport do it for that and that alone, because the economics are just not there otherwise.[/quote]
