but there is a real schism as to what the future of UAB should be.
UAB was built into the valuable asset it is today largely due to huge infusions of cash by the University of Alabama system. The campus is about 50 miles from Bryant Denny. The big mistake with UAB football was the move to Division 1. The resources and support to make a D-1 program successful just isn't there with the proximity to Tuscaloosa

Devil's Advocate: Piedmont-Triad area has four major schools within a roughly similar distance from one another.

I think that is where we just disagree. I agree UAB would never be Alabama, but I think they could do just fine in C-USA. Troy and South Alabama have both found their niche.
