This has been beaten to death. College and Club are two different animals. For club everyone picks a pays for a product and hopes the rules are the same for everyone. With the clubs being FOR PROFIT, rules are bent and deals are made everywhere. At the end of the day, all of these directors are doing what they think maximizes their return and usually that return is tied to the PR and performance associated with their top teams. So if you aren't a top 20 kid in any organization your chances of getting screwed goes up quite a bit. Welcome to travel lacrosse its not for everyone.
