Again, what matters is not the gross for those 41 dates, but the net. By bringing in those 41 dates, you also bring in a group of players who absolutely must be paid $44 million in salaries. If those 41 dates cause you to lose money because of the added expenses, you're better off without them.

The fact that an economic study shows that the team leaving is a worst case scenario makes me think your assumption is incorrect, but who knows what the study considered.

Frankly, when the team is losing $20 million a year, I have to be highly suspicious of any economic study that comes to such a conclusion.
