[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If they are hoping for money for college, they will never recoup what they have spent http://www.nytimes.com/2008/03/10/sports/10scholarships.html?_r=3&oref= If they are hoping to increase the odds of getting in to various colleges, they could just pick any sport or extracurricular. Unless the kid is recruited, a sport is just another extracurricular to a lot of admissions officers.[/quote] These are rich parents. They are not trying to "recoup" money. Whether you like it or not, these kids are going to better colleges than they could have because of lacrosse. Cornell has 3 Landon kids and 1 St. Albans Princeton has 3 Landon kids, 3 prep kids and 1 St. Albans Then they get jobs because they are playing lacrosse, recruited right off the roster. [/quote]
