[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][twitter][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The private school thread keeps talking about PVI. Why aren't more Loudoun lacrosse players going to the school? They couldn't field a JV team this year. [/quote]

Oh I don't know. Maybe 20-25K a year might have something to do with it.[/quote]

So the better education and the better athletics aren’t worth it? [/quote]

Both of those conclusions are questionable. And no, $100K in four years to play at a lower D1 or D3 school is not worth it, can do that for free at public. Very few of the PVI kids will go to a top 25 D1 school.

1.  Lots of PVI alumn currently on top 25 D1 programs
2.  HS does not matter for recruiting it is all based on club performance
3.  Fewer kids at PVI are actually playing lacrosse yet they are above capacity so they don't need lacrosse.

Not sure why people care how others spend money.  PVI is cheap compared to the other private DMV schools and most parents send kids there for the catholic education and not for sports.  Only baseball and basketball are good sports at PVI and occasionally the lacrosse team.  I know several PVI families who would still send kids there if the lacrosse team was just like DJO or BI.

1. True
2. Only if you play for bad high school team and goes against 1. 
3. True but why? Money, perceived lack of benefit, lack of players to go around? [/quote]

100K is pocket change for most of the families that go to PVI. The real value is getting good teachers, getting to know great families, and avoiding all of the BS that comes with Loudoun publics (fights, furries, disruptive kids taking learning cycles away from kids that want to excel, etc.)[/quote]

Agreed. This is why most families send their kids to privates. I'll throw in that the sports (in general) are much better as well. Privates aren't perfect, but many feel the benefits outweigh the costs. [/quote]

exactly!!

So the SIDE takes it to Indy!  What is next for the Tigers?
