UAB wants to blame Alabama (and Paul Bryant, Jr. specifically) for its programs problems, but the real culprit is UAB. They complain that the Board of Regents wouldn’t dip into Alabama’s athletic profits and drop $75 million on them to build a 30,000-seat on-campus stadium, and they didn't even know how they were going to pay the utility bills on a stadium. The truth is that Blazer students just wouldn't show up even though Legion Field is within sight of campus.....Good on the Board of Trustees for keeping the University of Alabama system financially strong with this decision.

So UAB canceled the talks with Jimbo Fisher a few years ago?

UAB refused to play Alabama in football?
