[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The lacrosse angle is different than what several of you are hinting at.  It's not "businesses like hiring successful students who also have the discipline to be varsity athletes."

That principle is true generally speaking, but with lacrosse players something different, and additional, goes on as well:  It is like fraternity brothers hiring each other.  They hire each other because they like each other and they have common experiences and background.  That aspect has nothing to do with sports per sel it just so happens that it is centered around sports.[/quote]

Agreed.

And one could argue that the fact that the sport skews towards white, Eastern-Establishment-Elite, has something to do with this phenomenon.[/quote]

Yup and adding in the prep school component too.[/quote]

Interesting.  I have noticed how non-diverse the sport is.  I wonder how much the prep school factor has to do with it.[/quote]

It is an expensive sport, so not available to everyone.[/quote]
