Before the Duke incident occurred, the organization committed $4.5 million to programs that focus on character and the sport's Native American roots. "As in any tragedy, these circumstances will certainly be a catalyst for even greater reflection on the sport's healthy development," says Steve http://proxy.espn.go.com/ncaa/columns/story?id=2456640 Page 1 of 6 ESPN.com - NCAA - Garber: Culture crisis in college lacrosse 09/13/2006 03:15 PM greater reflection on the sport's healthy development," says Steve Stenersen, U.S. Lacrosse's executive director. "I feel that the depiction of lacrosse in such a narrow way in the media as solely an elite, exclusive sport is not only inaccurate but almost irresponsible. "Without dismissing the circumstances in Durham, it's our goal to more accurately depict where the sport is today." After the story broke in Watch the NCAA championship Durham, it was reported that Saturday about one-third of Duke's men's Syracuse (10-4) vs. Virginia (15-0), 11:30 lacrosse team -- 15 players -- a.m. ET (ESPN2) had faced prior charges that UMass (12-4) vs. Maryland (12-4), 2 p.m. ET included underage alcohol (ESPN2) possession, creating a disturbance and public Monday National championship, 1 p.m. ET (ESPN) urination. Well before the March party, the university, hearing a stream of complaints from neighbors, purchased the house at 610 Buchanan Blvd., which had been leased for the 2005-06 academic year by three lacrosse players. Later, one of three players charged with the rape, 19-year- old Collin Finnerty, was ordered to stand trial for a previous assault charge. Finnerty and two friends allegedly punched a man in a Washington, D.C., Adjust Font Size: suburb after the man had told them, according to court documents, to "stop calling him gay and other derogatory names." Before he was charged in the Duke incident, the assault charge was to have been dismissed once Finnerty completed 25 hours of community service. "Drawing the line at sexual assault, I've seen stuff like this with our team and other teams at my school," said one Ivy League lacrosse player who, fearing the wrath of his coach, asked for anonymity. "The problem is, when alcohol becomes involved -- and it always does in college -- it impairs judgment. "You get 40 juiced guys and two girls, and it's a time bomb." Shay, the Yale coach, said the Duke story prompted many far-ranging discussions among coaches and players. Could it have happened at his school? Shea paused, and sighed. "Yes," he said. "It could have happened to any of us. It's scary. What we know has happened, it could have happened on any college campus, Division I, II or III. It just so happened to happen at a phenomenal academic institution, the ivory tower." The culture On the day Duke coach Mike Pressler resigned, university president Richard Brodhead announced the formation of five committees to investigate different facets of the scandal. Law professor James Coleman chaired a seven-member committee looking into the history of the lacrosse team's behavior. Less than a month later, on May 1, the report was made public. Brodhead summarized the 17-page report in two sentences: "The Coleman committee's report tells of a close- knit team that did well academically and excelled athletically but that was irresponsible in its repeated abuse of alcohol. The committee did not, however, find a pattern of racist behavior or sexual Joseph Labolito/WireImage.com abuse." Coach Mike Presser took the Blue Devils to the A detailed chronology title game last year, but resigned in the wake of the disciplinary of this spring's scandal.

    SO… YOU WANT TO PLAY LACROSSE INCOLLEGE? H e o m n a o g r the Last Updated: March 2014 US Lacrosse | 113 W. University Parkway, Baltimore, Md. 21210 | 410.235.6882 | uslacrosse.org 1 H e o m n a o g r the Letter from US Lacrosse On behalf of US Lacrosse, it is my sincere pleasure to introduce you to our college recruiting handbook, “So...You want to play lacrosse in college?.” In recent years, college recruiters have accelerated the timeline and created recruiting formulas that are unique to them. The direction of the college lacrosse recruiting process has led to confusion by some, frustration to others and leaves everyone guessing. The intent of this handbook is to present hard facts, dispel the myths, and to promote the essentials. As a parent of two children who have been through the process and a high school coach for thirty years, I have seen the process play out in scenarios that are too many to number. From my experience there are a few points that I would like to highlight. First, everyone’s journey through the process is unique, so do not rely on others who say they know how the process works. Second, one can only control the tools that are in their own hands. Recruits and their families must educate themselves about the process and the schools of interest, prepare physically for competition, and to achieve to your potential academically. A recruit and their family have no control over the decisions that a college coach will make.

  • College Recruiting, Nytimes on Lacrosse Scholarships
    From the NYTimes on Lacrosse Scholarships The Lax Track By ABIGAIL SULLIVAN MOORE IT is a blistering week in July, and thousands of girls and scores of college coaches pour into Love Point Park in Stevensville, Md., for the annual All Star Express. The tournament, a four-day extravaganza of athleticism and ambition, is billed as the recruiting event of the year for women's college lacrosse (lax, for short). Tractor-powered trams lug spectators to 12 fields marked off by huge helium balloons. In the middle is a corridor of vendors hawking chocolate chip cookies, lacrosse gear, preppy ribbon belts and hot-pink and lime-green flip-flops adorned with mini-lacrosse sticks. On Thursday and Friday, middle school and younger high school girls play. On the weekend, when 55 teams of seniors compete in up to seven games a day, the crowd swells to at least 12,000. Tournaments like this represent the latest, strangest chapter in the history of lacrosse. Originated centuries ago by American Indians, it is now one of the fastest-growing sports among high school students. Once played mostly in New England prep schools and other pockets in the East, the game has spread wildly through suburbs nationwide. In towns where weekends are spent carting children to athletic events and the names of top-tier colleges are stenciled on car windows, families see lacrosse as an opportunity for their sons and daughters to shine in the equally competitive arenas of college admissions and athletic scholarships. Many parents figure that, compared with soccer, basketball and football, lacrosse offers less rivalry for spots on college teams.

Number of scholarships offered per team / per year / by Division: Not all colleges that are eligible to offer scholarships will choose to do so. For example, Ivy League schools choose not to offer athletic scholarships; they instead offer endowments and grants. The plus of these endowments/grants is that they are for all four years of school, not just one year like athletic scholarships (which are usually “re-upped” each June). Lacrosse is an equivalency sport, which means all scholarships are NOT full scholarships, and coaches can divide the value of the scholarships available to them between as many players as they see fit. Full rides are very rare, but NOT impossible. Often, schools workout packages which combine athletic scholarship money and merit based awards (academics).
