does anyone know for certain.....

I heard a rumor recently, one so ridiculous that when I heard it I had to stop and just shake my head in disbelief. But it's been gnawing away at me ever since, more I think about it, the more it bothers me.

According to this guy (John) the state gives the Aint's a certain amount of cash each year to remain competitive, viable (team brings so much cash to the region... do you want us to move to a better market... blah, blah, yada, yada).

But the state only dishes out that cash when the team is hurting (i.e. W/L record under a certain threshold).

Would someone please debunk this? With certainty?
