Plenty of people cared, that's not why UAB does not have a football program. Hell the university would not accept donations for football while Watts was there.

Jimmy Filler, a huge booster approached the President with pledges for a indoor practice facility. It was when the President evaded accepting the money and commenting on football, that he began to suspect something was afoot. Shortly after that, the letter outing the plan was sent to the news and UAB.

From your article:
"Watts wanted Filler to help raise money for a $40 million heart rehabilitation center that would include coaches' offices, Filler said."
