My son is a sophomore goalie, and [U]everything[/U] he does re: lax is [I]entirely [/I]of his own doing.  My only role is to (a) say no to things that don't make sense, and (b) pay.

He went to a prospect day at Bryant last month, which was a cool experience because an assistant there had asked him to attend after seeing him at an event this past fall.  My wife and I went to a mall during most of it, but we watched the scrimmages at the end.  There were sooooo many parents freaking out because their kids are juniors and this was "their last chance" to get seen for college.  We were both stunned.  None of these kids are going to high-level D1 schools, or getting a full ride, so who the hell cares?  Some of these people are insane, and I suspect they care way more about it than their kids.

100%.  My son's current HS coach told me that his #1 goal is to help his players use lacrosse to get the best possible education they can.  He said he often steers his kids to a D3 school over a lower-level D1 because the value of their degree (and network) is so much higher.
