[quote=Anonymous]This applies to non-revenue generating college sports, but it seems like there may be a trickle-down effect starting with colleges. Some colleges will probably have to cut programs, others may have to limit scholarships or go to a club model, some coaches may get let go, and recruiting travel budgets will get slimmer.

If this goes on too long one would think it may start to impact club lacrosse programs as well. Not all players, but many, play travel lacrosse with the goal of playing at the college level. With the prospect of fewer college teams to play for, limited scholarships available to help offset some portion of school, and fewer opportunities to be seen by coaches will some parents continue to invest in travel lacrosse when fewer players can make the next level. If you think of all the money parents invest over 6-8 years in each kid playing club lacrosse it's not a small amount and for those players with the goal of playing college lacrosse the ROI provided by clubs is not as good under this scenario. Clearly, if fewer kids continue playing lacrosse as a result of all of this it will impact HS programs as well.

A lot seems to ride on how quickly colleges can recover from this financially. They have been hit hard. Finding funding for non-revenue generating sports will be a tall order. Lets hope they can make this happen. Without these programs club lacrosse and high school lacrosse will likely feel the effects in some way.[/quote]
