I think it it probably an incorrect assumption that funds would be
transferred from basketball to hockey, let alone from Amherst to Lowell.
It is a fact of life that UMass Amherst's success in roundball brought
the U much more money than a national championship in hockey could have.
Their name is also exponentially better known than any success in hockey
could bring.  Not a pleasant thought, but reality I think.
