<p>Need is relative. We all have needs both the student and the school and I am afraid the need that is really determined by financial aid officiers is the schools. Most the LACs that field competitive teams even at the DIII can find a lot of needy applicants who can run, jump, and throw. But most of the LACs people on this board think about couldn't beat the local middle school. Swarthmore went five years without winninf a football game before finally dropping it and they were playing the likes of Oberlin:-)</p>
<p>Anyway that aside Holy Cross is another LAC with D1 sports for anyone who is compiling a list.</p>
