Yes it will. But I'd prefer what's best for it to help it thrive, not to simply be there.



It has thrived and grown as a part of the UA system. I can assure you that is never going to change.

As API, they really don't have a dog in this fight. Hell, your own atheletic department is in the red. Your system to not be viable financially. Here your telling the University how to run its board. Seems to me, you need to get the crap off your own carpet, before you worry about anyone elses.

UAB football is in the red and financially defunct. They started out wanting to play on the main stage, when they should have been playing on lower levels in another NCAA division. You have to walk before you run. I'm surprised that you people down south at API didn't know that. Then again, expecting common sense from you guys, is just to much of a reach.

Again, you're right and I won't argue that. But UAB has long since passed the point where it can grow and thrive on its own. UAB is doing great in the system, but its not reaching its full potential, not even close, and it never will if those in charge keep holding it back. UAB is big enough and established enough that it should be able to look out for its best interests and they aren't being allowed to.
