[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You post about your lacrosse team networking like every week.

If your brother BOTH went to Ivy, I doubt you are some rags to riches story off the back of hard work and sportsmanship.

I mean [b]Lacrosse is already a rich sport[/b], I know it’s not played in poorer communities and requires expensive equipment and large fields. [/quote]

Lacrosse is NOT a rich sport, it is for MC folks.  Tennis or golf is a sport for the rich.  It costs money to play lacrosse but nowhere near the amount for golf or tennis.  Golf costs around 40k/yr and tennis around 35k/yr.

Lacrosse is a team sport and [b]pretty much every Ivy lacrosse player is recruited from a powerhouse private school (often boarding school) team[/b]. Nobody from outside a certain set of schools (same with Ivy hockey recruiting 5th year prep school players and Ivy crew recruiting from certain prep schools and private UK schools ). So lacrosse players build connections early on with each other in these high schools and getting recruited often requires the cost of private school education. It isn’t just about what you pay to play. [/quote]

Lots of average private schools and great public schools on this list
