re: SIAP: Paul Bryant Jr's Bank Tie That Binds UA BOT

The fans weren't running the program. That would be the administration/board who were in charge of all the hires and investments. So no, there is no one to blame except for the people running it. The fans don't run the business. The fans don't have to come up with a way to make it profitable. The fans don't come up with ways to get people to show up to games. You haven't addressed any of the reasons I gave for low fan support either. You just keep blaming fans because you have no argument for it. You just deflect.

I will say that fan support at UAB was low for about 9-10 years. But at the same time, there are many reasons for that. You can't simply place blame on fans for not supporting one of the worst products in the country. The fact that the UA BOT can get Alabama to #1 and UAB to #128 simultaneously tells you all you need to know.

I haven't deflected anything. All of your excuses for lack of fan support is where the deflection comes in at.

If UAB football was so important to everyone, then they should have been at the games. They weren't.

IF UAB football was so important, private donors should have been willing to help cover the cost of maintaining or building new facilities. They didn't. As a matter of fact, those efforts failed miserably due to lack of support.

So there's that.

Again, it's nobody's fault but your own.
