It is in everyone's interest for Alabama's largest city to be home to a large, successful, dynamic university.


Are you serious? A flailing football team for 30 years makes that a successful dynamic university. The medical and dental schools are what make it successful. The football team was a hobby.

Killing athletics will kill UAB undergrad.

Would you be more or less likely to know about a university if it had a football team? More or less likely to attend? What if there were no meaningful athletics at all? A football team doesn't make it, but it's part of it. And its a really big part of it if it is a necessary cog to maintain athletics in general.
