@underdogdynasty: UAB boosters allege Alabama Trustees are aiming to end Blazers football after 2016. https://t.co/59UcAv7BzA

In a letter sent today to UAB President Ray Watts, members of an organization called the UAB Football Foundation have alleged that the Alabama Board of Trustees is considering shutting down the UAB football program after the 2016 season.
The letter (which is embedded below) alleges that the board is studying the viability of the UAB football program, seeking evidence to support shutting down the program. The letter alleges this is why, unlike many of his coaching contemporaries in Conference USA, Clark was only offered a three-year contract last January — as such a deal coincides with the end of the 2016 season. UAB has zero non-conference games scheduled past 2016, which the letter also suggests is deliberate.
UAB Athletics declined comment.
Here's a LINK of the letter. It includes support from former UAB and current Falcons player, Roddy White #freeuab

Why does Alabama have any say in what UAB does?

It's part of the University of Alabama system, just like Alabama. For some reason UAB having football team and not wanting to play at the dumpy Legions field rustles the RECs jimmies.

They're all under the same University System but the majority of the BoT is compromised by Bama grads including one, Paul "Bear" Bryant Jr.

why would a schools whose "nationally ranked team wears scrubs" care about a football team anyway?

We just had a similar thread last week. If UAB wants to start supporting its own football team including funding for their new stadium without sucking resources away from UA, go for it.

Because in the state of Alabama, what Bama says goes. That includes Auburn.
