Why does Auburn continue to block AUM from having a football team. What are they so scared of?

No Auburn is keeping USA from having a Pharmacy school and both of them from USA having a law school

Nice deflection.
Still does not change the reprehensible manner in which the UA BoT does not treat all Universities under their stewardship as equal.

Pretty sure that 1) Bama's basketball team actually does great financially and 2) you're a shitty poster.

OK. So why does AU continue to block AUM from having a football team? What are they scared of?

Yet Alabama is the school that just fired their coach for fear of not being able to keep up with the other schools in the state






Alabama fired Grant for the same reason Auburn fired Lebo/Barbee/Tuberville/Chizik. Gotta meet the program's expecations or you get the boot. Right?

Dunno, maybe you should start a thread about it.

Hey, if they want one, I think they should go for it.

See?

That was easy. You, however, cannot admit the BoT and President Watts treated UAB unfairly.

Anyone who knows anything about Alabama knows there is no shortage of attorneys in Alabama. The state does not need another law school. But blame it on the THE University anyway.

They aren't equal though. AUM isn't equal to AU. LSU's campuses in Alexandria/Shreveport/Eunice aren't equal to LSU Baton Rouge even though Gov. Bobby Jindal is considering deep budget cuts for higher education in Louisiana that could cripple those outlier campuses.

Sure they didn't... keep telling yourself that. There is a preponderance of evidence the BoT meddled in the athletic affairs of UAB. You can deny it all you want but it does not change the fact.

Why blindly defend something that is wrong? I doubt you were one of those who voted to give Watts full support on the BoT after NO Confidence votes by the SGA, faculty and alumni organizations...

TuthillTiger knows all about the state of Alabama and it's politics. He was all over the ATPB thread spouting the FBI involvement in the Cam Newton case as well as the inner workings of Bobby Lowder/Colonial Bank and Milton McGregor's illicit activities. The dude knows all kinds of crazy shite.....

Even IF true, blame it on Bartow, never should have tugged on Super Man's cape! Don't start a war you can't win.

I saw the report so I know you are not lying. But can the Bama fans explain to me how the program made money this year. I have seen yalls attendance on TV, there seems to be no way yall are pulling a profit

How is it that the system's Board of Trustees is "meddling" in their affairs? UAB is part of the system. They are the Board of that system. Overseeing the affiars is meddling?

Why doesn't Auburn want USA to have a Pharmacy school and what are they doing to prevent it? Why would Alabama and Auburn prevent USA from having a law school?
