I donate to UAB annually.

Why does it bother you anyway?

It is laugh you say UA carries UAB financially. UAB is the second largest job provider in the state. It is the billion dollar net worth of UAB that UA uses as collateral to improve the UA campus.

Why are you so opposed to them having football. The students agreed to pay more out of pocket to keep it. The city is paying to help offset cost. They now have a booster org that has raised millions.

blazer boosters post record success

quote:
Donations to Blazer Boosters, the fundraising arm of UAB Athletics, exceeded $5 million in 2015 — a record achievement made possible through the unprecedented support of fans, friends and supporters.

quote:
Blazer Boosters membership increased 36.4 percent in 2015, and nearly 1,500 members made generous donations. Annual scholarship contributions surpassed $1.3 million this giving year, while more than $18 million was pledged toward the enhanced support of the football, bowling and rifle programs

Moot point. UA BoT got embarrassed by this. They got worried by possible legislative action and PBjr is now off the board.

UAB won and I do not see why that chafes the arse of any Alabama football fan. More football is never a bad thing. If they win C-USA and Jack State wins FCS you could have three champions in football in one state.
