        One more factor that I noticed on the boards at the Yost, and on
the Michigan sweaters, is the Nike swoosh.  They have poured a ton of
money into the University of Michigan and several other schools over the
past 5-10 years.  This can be easily noticed if you watch a college
football or basketball game.
        My questions are:
        Are there any schools other than U of M that are endorsed by a
big time corporation?  (I know that Penn State's club team is)
        Do you think that corporate interest in college hockey will develop
over the next few years, and will we see the Swoosh on more hockey
sweaters?
