The National University System was established in 2001 to meet the emerging challenges and demands of education in the 21st century. The System is uniquely aligned to connect a diverse population of students to a network of innovative educational programs that are relevant to their lives, careers, and the marketplace and are delivered in a format that respects competing life priorities.

Answer: YES
The question is a good example of what economists call asymmetric incentives. From the NFL’s perspective, it makes complete sense to move the Super Bowl, as the league is able to play cities against one another to obtain subsidies for new stadiums and other concessions. For cities, the incentive cuts the other way. With many cities competing for one product (right to host the game) in very limited supply, cities spend lavishly (and often foolishly) to host the Big Game. For the game itself, it would make much more sense to rotate among San Diego and other warm weather cities.
