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.
