who don't need much financial aid. A lot of kids want to play for 4 more years, and, if they can do it at a high quality school, it's a double win for them. For many of them, cost is not a factor - the degree and the school it comes from are what matters. A lot of affluent suburban parents have used lax as a back door into Ivies, NESCAC and UAA schools for their kids. Crew is another sport that is similar. ** Edited by UpperQuad at 9/19/2023, 9:23:37 PM
