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

UAB started a football donors program at the beginning of this year, so it didn't have time to start bringing in huge amounts. A donor/alumni 2 weeks ago said he would give $10 million and the powers that be turned it down. This was not a decision made this year. This was planned years ago and no amount of money raised or donated since this all started was going to change it. They could have been pledged $30 and it wouldn't have mattered. They would just brush it under the table like it didn't happen. Coach Clark was hired with the intention of running the program into the ground and in 3-4 years cancel it. But little did they know he was a damn good coach and could turn it around. The BOT saw this and panicked so they pulled the plug now instead of waiting 3 years when they could be a 9+ win football team.
