re: Alabama working to finalize game at UAB for new stadium opening

There were alumni who were ready to write the check and it would have cause enough excitement to get them in the black the first month.

It's almost comical seeing you write this stuff like this. Fisher would have been a good hire, but there were no checks ever written, just some non-binding promises by people that they would come up with the extra money. There was certainly no magical influx of money coming to put them in the black in less than a month.

Instead of balancing the athletic budget like she was told, Garrison went out and spent even more money and told the board, "well, some other people have promised to pay for it".

This is the same president who had no qualms about helping her married boyfriend misuse state of Tennessee tax dollars to carry on their affair, and who oversaw multiple research frauds and lawsuits during her tenure.

Hell, if the board has ever done anything to hold UAB back, it was not firing Garrison as soon as her sex scandal broke out of fear of another lawsuit (Reynolds), and allowing her to continue on ineptly for another 9 years.
