Well, clearly the former, but your latter point nicely sums up the "B" and "C" player argument.

BOTC will often talk about value-for-money in our posts and when instructing folks (both on the boards and over e-mail) how to evaluate any program.

For example, a program at $2000.00 per year might provide huge value-for-money over a program priced at $1000.00 per year both in terms of included elements but also "fit" for the student-athlete and family.

Ultimately, value-for-money is a personal decision that is not based on the price alone which is why BOTC continues to provide as many options to our readers as possible. Every program we bring forward offers a different slant and therefore different audiences will take part (despite it all being tied to lacrosse).
