[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The 'equity' debate is not about the age/holdback issue but rather the pay-to-play piece. If you are a low to lower-middle income family there is almost no way for your child to get recruited. You can't afford club. The travel costs for tournaments. The fees for showcases, etc. This is why the NCAA is looking at more specific changes, capping the costs. Sure colleges and tournaments can say they are open to everyone, but the unsaid portion is 'everyone who can pay'. The hold-back piece is an off-shoot of this talk, but its really more of an equity piece. Absent acting on this now that its been raised by the new NCAA leadership there is a very real chance of litigation. But to the earlier points raised, the age-based ideas are a very real possibility starting with the 2027 class. [/quote]

Sorry. I should have been more expressive when talking about equity and it is for reasons that you state WRT to pay for play aspect of lacrosse. I'm not sure how much this impacts pay to play and club lacrosse because at the end of the day, a kid is still going to have to play for a club team to improve his skills. I am also not sure by what you mean "capping the costs" on what? Tuition? I doubt that happens and I doubt the NCAA has an authority in saying a parents can only pay X amount of dollars on their kids club team.[/quote]
