1) college athletics are worth being reasonably subsidized
3 million a year is reasonable? I think Ole Miss should send them some money.

No. The 17 million dollar subsidy numbers that get thrown around are bullshite because the vast majority of that money is collected from the outset for athletics/football. i.e. they charge students a fee that is earmarked for the AD or football. Same thing is done at most universities. Without the AD/program, the revenue doesn't come in to the university to begin with. Same thing with the $ from the city. That's not a subsidy. That's just the university administration being a middle man.
In any case, the calculus should be whether whatever is being lost [if any] is getting a return of equal or greater value for UAB, Birmingham and the state. It is.
This is not a money thing and was not done for financial reasons.
