You don't really think the Alabama board wants to drop UAB football to help UAB academics? Please.

Furthermore regarding the idea that the only solution is a new stadium... any halfway legitimate businessman would agree that once revenue goes up, expenses go up too.
Build a new stadium? Be competitive? guess what, you have to also increase the pay for coaches, rebuild facilities. If you don't, the coaches leave, and the program goes back to the bottom of the rankings. attendance drops, you are back in the red.
Its an endless cycle.

yes I am serious.
you need money to be competitive for professors/facilities.
No student/professor/administrator is coming to UAB for their football team. (for the exception of the players of course)
want visibility? Invest in basketball. You will get into a good conference if you have a good arena/good attendance. to argue otherwise lacks foresight.
Hell you could play in a crap conference, win the championship every year. Go to the tourney and dominate the month of March in Alabama. that is a win in the book of UAB athletics.
You may also get more money for your baseball and soccer programs.

I thought UAB conspiracy theories were usually an offseason event?
At what point in the past 15 years has the UAB booster NOT thought Alabama was going to end their football program?

Usually yes, that letter is spurring the rumors early.

It just goes to the larger issue. Does the BOT truly want was is best for all the campuses it controls?

im not saying they keep them down, but they are resources that could be better invested. In educational or athletic programs at UAB or UA.

In the print edition of this week's Birmingham Business Journal, we debuted a new list that ranked the state's largest employers.
The list was ranked by number of total employees, and Redstone Arsenal in Huntsville came out on top of the list. The U.S. Army facility has more than 25,000 employees.
Six Birmingham companies or operations made the list, led by University of Alabama at Birmingham, which ranked second.
Here's thequote:on the list and their number of employees:
top five
Redstone Arsenal - 25,373
UAB - 18,750
Maxwell Airforce Base - 12,280
State of Alabama - 9,500
Mobile County School Systems - 8,100

if Bama and UAB would play in the BJCC.....
I would fap to that

yeah i think it does.
the most exposure UAB has ever recieved form athletics is the basketball team run in early 2000s.
no student/administrator/professor ever came to UAB for their football team.
If resources are being wasted, then they should re-apportion them. simple as that.

I'm a tax-paying resident of Alabama, and I don't want my money going to a stadium in Bham.

This is why this thread is full of AU fans supporting UAB. the assumption that Bama is threatened by UAB is ridiculous when the board green lighted the football program to begin with....UAB football is a loss making endeavor that no one in the community outside a vocal few care about.
Furthermore, why should we support subsidizing their program any longer? UAB is no threat to Bama but why would Bama want to spend resources to build a competitive program within the same system? It's ridiculous. Why doesn't AU spend their monery on developing a program at AUM?

t is pathetic when gumps try and deny that UA actively works diligently and has for a decade to insure UAB football is not successful.
It is pretty damn petty of them. Does Texas try and shut down UTEP for a shitty football team or UTSA? Does Florida try and shutdown UCF or USF or FIU? Oh my god, the BOT of a system is pissed that it has to pay for the whole system and not just the flagship school, the horror.

I am actually quite shocked that the city of Birmingham has been able to stay out of the business of tax payer funded stadium building. Outside of Regions Field.
Which brings up a point.... Why they hell can't UAB start playing there?
