You're no better than the idiots on here I despise that rush into any thread using the words "Auburn" and "NCAA". I imagine your own fanbase hates you as well

Why are you so determined to look dumb on this issue?
You can't save face on it at this point.
You insist the UA BOT is neutral and has not held UAB football down intentionally. This is such a ludicris position to take in light of all the facts.
Why do you insist on taking it? It makes no sense.

Why? Because I continue to make an obvious point about the relationship between UAT and UAB?
I would even bet you learned a few things about the dynamic between the two. Probably several things.
Just because you don't like what you learned is your problem, not mine.

Because you sound like a lunatic, regardless of whether or not you're right

I think the whole point is that when you come in with 'bammers' and 'bams' and 'turds' and 'uat' it undercuts the point you're trying to make and this is all anyone sees:
And I just wanted a reason to use that gif.

Well perhaps if you could provide me with more links and articles I might come over to your side.

Ok. Good.
And I will keep proving my point until I am done.
Here is an article from bama's own student newspaper siding with UAB and noting how the UA BOT has acted purposely to hurt UAB football:

quote:
The University of Alabama System Board of Trustees recently denied UAB the opportunity to get their football team out of Legion Field, an 84-year-old stadium that is way past its prime, and build a $75 million, 30,000-seat on-campus stadium for their football program. Their decision to deny such a large financial undertaking is not the problem with this situation; it is the fact that the board made this decision without an official vote of the board and the proposal was not even discussed or on the agenda at the recent board meeting.
This is not the first time a UAB attempt to push its football program to the next level has been stopped unfairly by the board. In 2006, while both our University and UAB were in the hunt for a new head football coach, UAB was the first to find who they thought would be the best option to take over their team and revitalize their program. Jimbo Fisher, who was then working as LSU’s offensive coordinator, was UAB’s first choice, and all that was left was finalizing the details of his contract before he would take over the reigns of the football team. Unfortunately for UAB, though, the board did not agree with this decision and claimed that they could not hire Fisher because of “financial considerations.”While it is obviously smart for the board to be so fiscally responsible, the $600,000 a year salary UAB was prepared to offer Fisher is quite modest by today’s college football standards, and a large part of it was going to be covered by UAB boosters. Keep in mind as well that at this time the board authorized buying out the remainder of former Alabama coach Mike Shula’s contract, costing $4 million, and offered a six-year, $12 million contract to Rich Rodriguez to take over as the new head coach.

You argued for 12 pages and two days about UA fricking B. How is that not psychologically disturbed behavior?

Man that shite is just tl;dr. I get what youre fighting for but why? Most on here don't give a shite and the people youre arguing with are only doing it because they know you will run with it. Just stop and take a deep breath.

Ok. Good advice.
And you know it has gone to far when you google UAB UA board of trustees and/or conflict and this damn thread pops up on the first page of the bing search.

There's one big difference here. The UA football team was still bringing in a lot of money. The UAB football team was losing a ton of money.

I didn't even touch the "UAB is in the top a academic tier" thing. Depends on how you define the top tier. There are like 2,000 colleges in the US and it is in the top 150-200.
It does nothing to rival Vandy, UF, UGA, TAMU, Bama, Mizzou, or AU academically overall so it would be 8th in the SEC at best. Not even the top half of the SEC.
