Schwartz: A Preliminary Review of the CSS Report on UAB
http://sportsgeekonomics.tumblr.com/post...ort-on-uab

There’s no way to read CSS’s report and conclude that an administration focused on maximizing UAB’s overall health would remain obstinate in its opposition to football. I don’t know how a neutral observer would read Rascher & Schwarz and then read CSS and possibly draw the conclusion that financial concerns were the driving force behind cancelling football in the first place or that they provide a valid reason for (potentially) not restoring it now.

CSS’s report provides far more support for bringing back football, especially in the wake of the massive in-flow of new money it would provide. The alternative is to refuse that money, anger the community, and then basically lose more money in the long-run. Stranger things have happened, but it would take an extremely odd view of the world to read this report and conclude that football should not be restored. There are times when being stubborn is smart, but sometimes just saying “oops” and allowing facts to change one’s mind is both the ethical and the financially wise thing to do.

Seems like a well reasoned critique to me.
