These so called fans of UAB don't care about the academics. They only want their football team back with a new stadium and a national championship winning coach.... all 7,000 or so of them. Make the taxpayers pay for them, since UAB football is losing money.
The few #freeuab crowd even attended the Bot meeting and when the Bot announced all the millions of upgrades to facilities and academics, they booed. And why? Because these few people (look at he pictures of the #freeuab crowd.... few) only care about having a football team. And they will go to great lengths, even so far as to get a state representative to propose a bill to force the state to fund one for them.
I bet auburn fans like that the bill will force the Bot to do away with the University of Alabama football team if poor little ole UAB can't have one. Come on comrade.... let's shut down Bama football, because UAB fans suck.

Remember the interactive CFB fan map circulating a few days ago?
Zoom in and click on the B'ham area and see how much UAB is supported there.
UAB football with about 3% to 4% support in their own city. Even LSU has more support in one area of B'ham.

All the athletic programs at UAB lose money right now. Football lost the least for how much was spent. If you're trying to save an athletic department money, why would you cut one of the two potential men's revenue sports and then add a non revenue track team and a non revenue swimming team to make up for the title 9 issues? Not to mention you're going to lose an extra 2-3 million a year for losing your conference affiliation. Yeah, that is genius.
That makes no sense and everyone here knows it.
You want to make it about academics as a strawman argument, but it has zero to do with academics. It also has zero to do with how terribly this entire thing was handled. Why is the UAB President still in place at UAB after receiving no confidence votes from:
1. Faculty
2. Undergrad Students
3. Grad Students
4. UAB National Alumni Society
Why is he still there after one of the biggest PR blunder's in Alabama's history? Why are Alabama taxpayers paying nearly a million dollars for multiple public relations firms over this football situation? We just supposedly cut UAB's football team due to the money not being there, but we have the money to pay PR firms and run propaganda commercial ads on TV.
This is a lot bigger than UAB having a freaking football team.
