That is why they keep close grips on the UA BOT power balance, it prevents UAB from breaking away and claiming the banner.

There is no "banner" to claim seeing as how the Medical School is owned and governed by the UA System and not UAB (despite what you UAB'ers might say). UAB can secede if they'd like, but the only piece of their prestigious medical school they would retain is the building (even though it'll never happen). I'm also sure many more lawsuits would follow because there's no doubt the BoTs would want a repayment in full on all the money they've invested into that extension school over the years.

Ask USA how their medical school is doing these days (compared to to the UASOM) after they seized control of what was left of the UASOM after it relocated to Tuscaloosa, before settling in that corrupt shite/piss/puke-hole known as Birmingham back when USA was UA at Mobile.
