On another note--why didn't they drop down to FCS or something?


They were D-III at one time and should have stayed there or at least gone no higher than FCS. The cost of playing FBS football has exploded and isn't going to go down. There are going to be a lot more of the programs that made the jump to FBS in the last 15-20 years facing the same decision UAB just made.

Doubt it. With the autonomity for the P5 there will be a P5 division, a G5 division then FCS within 10 years.
