[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I can imagine the Gonzaga people are hoping it doesn't happen. Their program could shrivel and die in two years if it did.[/quote]

Not a Gonzaga fan, but this is a ridiculous statement.  Gonzaga has become a perennial top program nationally, and nothing is going to change that anytime soon.  They have the numbers, the players, the coaches, and the price is a factor for many.

Gonzaga didn't rise because Prep went down.  Prep went down because Mater Dei kids who play lax were increasingly picking Gonzaga.  So if you want to pick a causal relationship, Prep went down because Gonzaga was going up.

I'm not a fan of Gonzaga parents, but their program is not scared of Prep at all.  Prep is relying on Catholic families picking them who are lax players.  Given the price disparity and state of Gonzaga's program, Prep is in a tougher position that ever before.  They have to increasingly rely on foreign boarding students who can pay full price, and those kids are not playing lax.[/quote]
