They got what they paid for. Don't be naive.

Basically, it doesn't take into account the value of national exposure, branding, effects on enrollment, generating long-term alumni support, etc. etc.
On top of all that, it's making the recommendation to cut football based on the assumption that UAB would build a few buildings. Doesn't mention the fact those buildings were going to be paid for by boosters.
NOT TO MENTION THE FACT THAT THEY AREN'T REDUCING SPENDING.

The biggest kicker is how Carr Consulting came up with the future projections for capital improvements - the UAB coaches.
Carr Consulting went to each UAB coach and asked them what they needed to succeed in the future. Obviously, each coach gave their dream list, unwittingly knowing that it was going to be used against them in the future.
