Is there any way that UAB, as a university, could secede from the University of Alabama system. Years ago here in South Carolina, Coastal Carolina University in Myrtle Beach was part of the University of South Carolina system but became independent of USCe. They complete in Div. 2 in sports of course, but if UAB seceded and dropped to Div. 2, couldn't they still be viable and keep football? Just a thought.

They would have to have approval of [drumroll...] the UA BOT...The whole thing is a farce.

To me the litmus test is pretty simple: If UAB were an independent school with its own BOT, would it be pulling the plug? I have to think not. That should tell us something, if not about power and corruption, then at the very least about incentives and conflicting interests.
