It's a top public university. Don't have to believe me, but my son has earned every penny. Don't know why any kid would want to play college sports without getting significant money. After all, it's a full time job.

If that was the case there would be 8 players per roster because 42 out of 50 don't get much money at all. Fact. They play because they enjoy it and it's most likely the last chance to play an organized sport. That's why.

My kid school 57,000 a year, cost for us
Year one 42,000
Year 2 and 3 27,000
Year 4 22,000

Public universities can be a great option. Some offer merit money that can be earned in addition to athletic money. My daughter wants to attend a bigger school with a college town atmosphere. She had offers ranging from 35%-60% athletic money, with the possibility of up to $15k merit money based on her GPA and test scores. Just like at private schools, some players get little to no athletic money. It can be a good deal for a school's top recruits, though - even better if also an excellent student. There are a decent number of public universities with very good lacrosse and academics.
