"The umpires hate those [QuesTec] systems," Hamermesh said. "When you're going to be watched and have to pay more attention, you don't subconsciously favor people like yourself. When discrimination has a price, you don't observe it as much.

"Seventy-one percent of major-league pitchers and 87 percent of umpires are white."

Based on my experience in academic research, I suspect that some student came up with the idea as a class project, and the professor decided to expand the study after the student's project had promising results; and it probably wasn't funded, just done by grad students he already had working for him a part of the academic program.
