Not surprising though Cuse has the top two recruits per IL; They may or may not be but they are elite prospects

SU has its issues too.

I recall not long ago some clamoring for Zinn to play. He still can’t shoot and still makes bad decisions.

NEW: In a victory for college athletes, SCOTUS unanimously invalidates a portion of the NCAA's "amateurism" rules. The court says the NCAA can no longer bar colleges from providing athletes with education-related benefits such as free laptops or paid post-graduate internships.



Time to flex our muscles. No excuse for PM/Baker not to use hopkin$$$$ mu$$$$cle to get the guys they need. Should be a conference call this afternoon to figure out how to max advantages w/this recruiting wise.

Yep … money race is on. I’m sure North Carolina is already looking for ways to take advantage of this new framework … including offering athletes real academic classes.

I can definitely see Hopkins offering free tutoring and maybe more cash for “books and supplies.”

Do you think this ruling affects limits on the number of scholarships schools can give? I've always thought 12.5 scholies is too few for lacrosse.
Apparently it leaves open the possibility that conferences can be restrictive, but any conference that does that will be at a huge disadvantage in recruiting, retention, etc.

https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/2 ... 237656001/

"The Supreme Court on Monday ruled against the NCAA in a landmark antitrust case that specifically challenged the association’s ability to have national limits on benefits for athletes that are related to education, but more broadly had raised doubts about its ability to limit benefits at all.

The ruling will end the association’s nationwide limits on education-related benefits athletes can receive for playing college sports.

Among the other benefits that schools also can offer are scholarships to complete undergraduate or graduate degrees at any school and paid internships after athletes have completed their collegiate sports eligibility.

Schools will not be required to provide these types of benefits, and conferences can impose prohibitions on certain benefits if their member schools so choose. However, conferences cannot act in concert. So, if a conference chooses to limit or prevent certain benefits, it risks giving a competitive advantage to other conferences."

t the moment a full year at Hopkins is about 75,000. A full year for an instate student at UNC is about 25,000 I M told. Over 4 years all else being equal Hopkins costs 200,000 more assuming all else is equal eg both schools offer the same schollie.

I asked the parent of 2 players who became AAs at another school. Dad was a Hop player. I believe earned AA at some level. I asked him why his kids went to big state school. He replied, at the time, if he paid the difference between the offers of both schools he would pay more than 200k for them to go to Hopkins and he didn’t think it was worth it. Now it might be 400k.

I don’t see Hopkins finding money to pay lax players much if anything compared to big state schools or big foundation schools etc.

I don’t think Hop participates in B1G TV money it I also don’t think they can push Hopkins out.

Have to think about it.

The in-state tuition hasn't mattered a lick for them. That said, their out-of-state tuition is also relatively affordable. As is Maryland's. Both those schools have benefited.

The Ivies, Duke, ND, Georgetown, UMich (out of state), UVA (out of state), BU, Lehigh, Villanova, Syracuse are all similarly priced as Hopkins, around 55-60k per year. It is what it is. Not changing. Hop, just like a lot of other schools, has to recruit within those limits and dispense aid/scholarships smartly. The Bloomberg $ helps.

I don't think this SCOTUS decision is going to have humongous implications in the sport of lacrosse. If they take it further and continue to allow athletes to share in the wealth of NCAA sports (long overdue, IMO, but that's a discussion for another day) then that could have an impact on recruiting. But as of now I don't see it as a game-changer.

Back to actual lacrosse for a second: I watched the NJ Tournament of Champions final between Don Bosco and Summit. Koleton Marquis had a hat trick and Bosco won, completing their undefeated season. The announcer said he spoke to John Grant. Jr. who apparently said Marquis has the best vision for a high school player he's ever seen. He does have good vision but that wouldn't even be his #1 attribute if you asked me. His stick skills are otherworldly. Cannot wait to see him in blue and black.

In other words to improve the academic quality of the undergrad student body. If a student is as qualified as others no problem but if a grant is made that essentially is an Addition to 12.6 schollies that is a problem. It will likely depend on each individual. It will still probably leave a gap. Even so I doubt Hopkins can add income to individual students off other revenue

Isn't part of the athletic admissions "game" to get actual out of state players the in state tuition cost? I always remember hearing that was part of how the sausage was made at pretty much all universities...
