if you look, it is 12.6 full scholarships. Most non revenue sports have similar numbers. It keeps it fair. If lacrosse could offer 40 full rides, the big football schools would dominate because of it while the small D1 schools would suffer. You kid doesn't play lacrosse to get a full ride at Duke, he plays because he loves the game and maybe he will be able to get into Duke because he is a stud and has good grades. If your son could play D1 football and get a full ride, then he should do it.
