Why bust on UMASS? it is a good school !

The whole line of joking is in a gray area. UMASS is a fine school but why go so far for either "good enough" academics or lax? The answer is that UMASS is far enough away from MD that a "good" MD HS lax player with a "good" HS GPA would get a favorable mixed bag of merit financial aid. Meaning also that he didn't qualify for a full ride on lax or on academics. Because if he would have, he'd have gotten closer and better offers than UMASS.

Roughly the same equation that recently started bring across-the-board lax talent to Denver. They worked really hard to assemble (complex) financial aid packages for "the right kids" who were absolutely not from CO.....or adjacent states.

Denver could also attract players for the world class winter skiing. UMASS can’t begin to compare with that. But let’s be real, only marginally decent lax players want to play at UMASS, and that’s only because they didn’t have better options…
