re: UAB's president on Bama's plane to SEC CG

“I’ve never been more ashamed, more embarrassed in my whole life of a group of administrative people who had the ability to do something better than what we did that day,” Hire said. “I feel so sorry for those players.

Former UAB letterman club president Justin Craft mirrored Watt’s remarks by indicating that none of the top donors or former football players were asked to contribute.

Since this report, many top university donors have come forward to claim that they were never asked to contribute in any manner.

All this spits in the face of Watts previous comments, as reported by AL.com.


“Nobody has come forward with a commitment of any additional resources — we’ve asked,” Watts said. “If the checks were in the bank, it would be one thing. We cannot lead this university on promises.”

So if UAB administrators didn’t ask individuals who were committed to the continuation of the football program to actually contribute, what does this mean?
