Nonsense. The argument is logically complete. It only takes one counterexample to make a statement false. Sorry if you are otherwise confused on the reasoning, but frankly, that's not my problem.

Statement: UAB has poor attendance because they have has division IA football program for less than 10 years and all programs who have had programs for that short of time will have poor attendance.

Points:
UConn has had a division IA program less that 10 years.

UConn does not have poor attendance.

Conclusion: Having a program for less that 10 years cannot be the reason UAB has poor attendance.

That's all I'm saying - and in this case, it very much proof by counterexample.

It is unfair to compare UConn football to UAB football.

Connecticut had Division 1-AA football and an athletic department for many years.

It is fair to compare UAB to South Florida (USF) or Central Florida (UCF) or Coastal Carolina (they just started a football program 3? years ago).

We like to make fun of UAB attendence. It is not easy playing a tough team like the Blazers without a crowd. I do suspect that their home field atmospere does impact how visiting teams play and "get up" for the game.

UAB is growing just fine. Winning solves everything and Alabama is a great state for football.
