What's your take on UAB's situation?

UAB could be a solid program with a positive revenue stream.

The only problem with created that is that it would siphon off boosters and fans from Alabama to create such a situation. Pretty obvious why it is unsuccessful and not given the proper support

To anyone that isn't a bama fan trying to cover for this BS power move, it is apparent that UAB never had a chance to earn positive cash flow.

It has also been made known of Jr's vendetta against UAB and peculiar that this is happening as he is exiting the BOT.

What fan base would ever want to have to attend games at Legion Field every home game?

I think the governor claiming to look into it is just window dressing to cover his arse politically.

The UA system wants all the good parts of UAB (Med school, academic prowess) without having to throw a bone to the athletic department or for campus upgrades. UAB having a robust university is good for the state and Birmingham, but I guess UA is worried about losing fans and - more importantly - money. It's BS for sure.

Makes me sad, also sad I wasn't still up there to march with my fellow blazers.

UAB started a football donors program at the beginning of this year, so it didn't have time to start bringing in huge amounts. A donor/alumni 2 weeks ago said he would give $10 million and the powers that be turned it down. This was not a decision made this year. This was planned years ago and no amount of money raised or donated since this all started was going to change it. They could have been pledged $30 and it wouldn't have mattered. They would just brush it under the table like it didn't happen. Coach Clark was hired with the intention of running the program into the ground and in 3-4 years cancel it. But little did they know he was a damn good coach and could turn it around. The BOT saw this and panicked so they pulled the plug now instead of waiting 3 years when they could be a 9+ win football team.
