re: What's your take on UAB's situation?

I sincerely hope that the outrage in Birmingham parlays into firing President Watts and finding a way to split from the UA system and become the University of Birmingham.

The UAB football is losing money excuse is a crock of shite. Something like 20 athletic departments in the entire country actually make money. The reason you have a football team is because the exposure you gain from a D-1A football program is priceless for the University and the rest of the AD. It's worth the spent money for the school.
The football team itself was just turning the corner competitively with Bill Clark.

If UAB was able to go through with its plan for an on campus stadium and improving the campus then that is good for the entire city of Birmingham. Anybody in the greater Birmingham metro should support that whether you're a Bama fan or not.
