No, I actually find this all interesting.

I had not realized until yesterday reading on reddit that to BoT prevented UAB from hiring Jimbo, attempting to put a stadium on campus to generate more revenue and interest (and move away from shitty Legion Field), and also even stopped them from receiving private donations.

But of course, a Bama fan would make it about them. I for one can see that this isn't Bama's fault. Saban and the AD could give 2 shits about UAB.

People need to understand all of this. It is wrong for a public university to act to the detriment of the largest city in the state over silly crap like this. I hate that this is a pissing match between supporters and Alabama fans reflexively defending the BOT. It isn't about Alabama. It is about politics and control and the BOT and the lack of accountability. Auburn dealt with the same crap with Lowder. The people wanted things changed, but there is no mechanism for it.
