Message: [QUOTE="ThruWayWest, post: 1369641, member: 5072"] It amazes me that parents are willing to pony up for the five years of college. I say blow the redshirt :) It is not like football and basketball where there are so many full scholarships. NCAA Division I men's Lacrosse teams have an average roster size of 45 players but only a maximum of 12.6 scholarships to award per team. This means that the average award covers less than 30% of a typical athlete's annual college costs! That is the average and Syracuse seems to have a larger roster than average. Lacrosse is an equivalency sport for NCAA limits, so partial scholarships can be awarded (up to 30 per team in NCAA I) as long as the combined equivalent awards do not exceed the limit. Some athletes receive full awards, some receive partial and many receive none! If I were a parent I would be jumping for joy! [/QUOTE]
