"UAB invested roughly $1 million to upgrade the football locker room and practice facilities after Coach Clark was hired," the statement said. "We also attempted to raise $1 million needed from private donors for an artificial turf practice field requested by Coach Clark. We could not secure that level of support from leadership of the not - yet - formed UAB Football Foundation, let alone the $50 million that would be required to sustain football over the next five years."
