Message: [QUOTE="Shrmdougluvr, post: 4756028, member: 396"] There was some poor guy in a thread that was talking about his son getting in to SU and being offered no aid at all. Now, admittedly, his son was not a high level candidate for SU, but still, he got in, and can't afford to attend. There are a lot of lacrosse families that are pretty well-to-do, but not so well off that they can cover $60k+ if their kid only earns a .25 schollie. My fix would be to simply have the NCAA set what the "cost of tuition" is for student-athletes in a respective sport. Maybe for lacrosse, it's $40k per year (a very general average of out of state public tuition and private tuition). And then base every "scholarship off of that." A full ride will always be a full ride, but if SU wants to give a kid a partial, a half-schollie means a student athlete will pay $20k per year; a quarter schollie means a student athlete will pay $30k per year, etc. [/QUOTE]
