More than Tuscaloosa....I'm not sure what your point is.....the medical school was and is the University of Alabama's....what is now UAB developed out of that decision to place the medical school in Birmingham and build out UAB.

My only point is that a large part of the success was in part due to the smart choice of location. I think Alabama nailed it there. My problem is the football program is good for undergraduate studies, something UAB is keen on, but UA BoT seems to be lukewarm at best about.

Well, first the threat to the University Honors Program, and then the threat to UAB football, and the overwhelming evidence that Ray Watts was simply doing whatever certain members of the BOT [Board of Trustees] directed him to do, instead of leading. The fact he had been completely absent from the media and from numerous requests for comment since the threat to UAB football went public led me to start it.
