This tweet comes from Birmingham radio host Tony Kurre who is a big UAB guy.

Trusted source"Watts has been swayed to recommend bringing football back to UAB but it will have to go thru BOT first". More details shortly


Source-Watts will meet with BOT this weekend with recommendation to bring back football-BOT must approve-find out Monday @free_UAB

If true, what a trainwreck. Like SMU post death penalty.

WRONG BOARD! UAB ISN'T IN THE SEC !!

Isn't that how we're supposed to respond?

Does this mean Auburn fans will go back to obsessing about Alabama instead of UAB?

Well if Ton the bone says it....

I hope UAB comes back, fills the stadium for every game, is a success for the university. No doubt there will be some increased fan support at first but what will the crowds be like 3-4 years down the road? Will it be just like it was before?

Where were all these big UAB guys when the seats at games were empty and the team needed support? This is just like all the idiots running around Mobile that start flapping their gums about wanting a sports team and then never support it; just look at the Bay Bears. People won't even go when it's free and they are giving shite away.

I hope so, but I'll believe it when I see it. This feels like media posturing and an attempt at image rehab. I wouldn't be surprised to see the BOT shoot it down.

This was UABs plan all along. They knew they were a stagnant program so they sacrificed one year in order to get all the lazy UAB fans to finally come to games and pull out their checkbooks.
