yeah Blame Bama fans on a forum for this. Because Bama the #1 football team isn't going to hear nor care about this. Falling on deaf ears so to speak....
edit: I will say this is very sad and Who knows what it would've took to save UAB football....

Go to twitter #FireWatts, #FreeUAB, #SaveUABFootball.
The rifle and bowling teams were informed they we're cut via email.

You have to feel for the kids on this one. They got fans in the stands, improved their record to bowl eligibility, got support from Roddy White and gave State a run for their money. Still, it wasn't enough and these kids either have to give up football long before they thought they would, or need to transfer immediately. For some, that means greener pastures (that Soph. RB) but for others, I'm sure it is either JuCo or FCS.
I understand Bama's POV here but it just sucks for the kids.

Players on scholarship can remain at UAB; their scholarships will be honored until completion of their original athletic eligibility. They also have the choice of transferring to a school of their choice without penalty if they wish to continue their athletic endeavor.
Why is everyone ignoring this?

Bama set that program up to fail.

Why blame Bama? They play in a shite hole, get about 3k people per home game, City is already broke, how can you justify keeping the program open? UAB will never have the support close to what Troy has. They need to focus on Basketball

I mean I feel bad for all the players, but I couldn't care less about them killing the program. But it is sad.

Baseball facilities at UA is in need of renovations and money has to come from somewhere.

The sudden and very obviously fake moral outrage from some quarters here is hilarious. There's a Bama guy here who attended UAB. His outrage, I trust. Most of you are just ridiculously transparent in your motives.

Not being able to sell football in Alabama is like a woman not being able to sell pussy. If you can't do it, you need to stop trying

Who gives a shite about the players? An untold amount of people are laid off daily due to budget and department cuts. It's fricking life. Do what every other laid off human being does: find something else. Loyalty and compassion to your employees only keeps you in fricking debt. You can't have a heart and run a business. Just as banks can't be loyal to those who are buried with loan debts. It's cutthroat to the end. Deal with it.
Now if we can shut down that entire shithole of a city...

They had a student rally today to try and save the program. Maybe 120 of the 18,000 students showed up.
