You are an Auburn alum/fan on here, living in PA......Why are you so interested in UAB? It seems you have a vested interest in UAB, the football program, and current president of UAB. WHY?

Fair point. I worked at UAB, my wife was a professor there, my father received his masters from UAB. I spent six months going to the UAB burn clinic as they were able to save the fingers on my hand, while the first hospital had wanted to amputate them. I taught in Birmingham for more than a decade and can say, UAB was the biggest asset/supporter to the kids in need at my school, from sponsoring robotics, providing volunteer athletic coaches, offering scholarships to kids who passed three or more AP exams and providing student volunteers to help on a wide range of issues.

I will always support UAB for these reasons no matter where I live.
