I don’t understand the part about public school kids having an edge. How does capping the percentage of scholarship money to be given to public school kids give them an edge?  And why would schools be doing that?  Thank you in advance for a reply.

This is a recent occurance and doesn't apply to all schools.   Mostly high-academic public schools in the wake of several college admissions scandals.  I can confirm that coaches at Vanderbilt, Duke, USC and a few Ivies are getting this type of pressure.

Schools as a whole are trying to limit the % of admitted kids and scholarship $$ who go to private school kids.   As a result, this trickles down to sports programs.   Most schools are giving their coaches specific caps for private school kids, but are also telling them that bringing in 8 private kids in a recruiting class of 9 isn't acceptable anymore.

From what we've seen so far, this doesn't impact of the stars or likely impact players, but for the bottom of the roster type kids, public kids do have an advantage at this schools.   Obviously within lax, especially girls lax, this does give an edge to Long Island and Upstate NY kids where most of their prospects go to public as opposed to DMV where 90%+ of top kids go private.[/quote]
