I try to reserve anger, real anger, for something that matters to me. I assume most people are like this. So how does UAB football matter so much to you, in the grand scheme of things? Or oversigning, for crying out loud? I can smell a troll a mile off. I don't think that you are a troll, in general. We all have our fun here in that regard. But the vitriol from you. Oy.

I'm not saying you're the problem or denying it. I'm just stating that you're a dumbass.

I just get pissed and maybe I shouldn't.
But this isn't about Bama football and nothing good or bad about Bama football is why I'm pissed.
I'm pissed because I am sick of Bama fans on here denying the Bama BOT has intentionally taken actions they knew to be against the best interests of UAB football. People lying over and over just piss me off. Like the old saying don't piss on me and tell me it's raining. Well don't insult my fricking intelligence trying to sell me that horseshite company line about it is finances or the BOT is trying to help UAB football or any other similar bullshite. Only so many times I can hear it before I get pissed and decide you are essentially calling me stupid, thinking I actually buy it.

I think the UA Board of Trustees probably does not support the UAB football program, and in that respect, are not much different from anyone else in the state of Alabama outside a few UAB coaches and players. But, bottom line, who gives a shite, really? No one.

Well, I tend to agree.
Like I said the thing that got/gets me worked up on this subject is the denial of the obvious as stated.
Anyway, I'm moving along now..

I'm not denying. I just don't care. If UAB football were to be cancelled tomorrow I wouldn't have the slightest reaction toward it.

Hmm to start with maybe the players and coaching staff? Maybe those who want to see more activities succeed in Birmingham.
UAB game attendance has been going up. Winning has a way of doing that. Also with a current student body of 18 thousand and alumni since the 1970's, I would imagine plenty of people care.
I just do not understand why UA BoT is so petty about UAB. They have never been a threat, never will be. They could, however, do pretty well in C USA or maybe even get picked up by AAC if they had better facilities.

Sorry I was not aware the Bama faithful had switched from UAB takes our money, to we want the medical school back to no one really cares.
It is hard to keep up with all the Bama rationalizations.

Pretty much the same way I feel about it. I think about UAB football about as often as I think about Canada. And how much do most people in Alabama care? This may not necessarily be representative, but here's the most recent statement about the stadium situation from UAB's Wikipedia page. It's three years old.
"On February 3, 2011, university officials announced that UAB will be moving forward with plans to build a horseshoe-shaped stadium on campus with an estimated seating capacity of around 30,000 as part of a new campus master plan.
On September 16, 2011 UAB vice president Richard Margison outlined preliminary plans for the proposed on-campus football stadium to the University of Alabama board of trustees. The plan calls for a horse-shoe stadium that would seat 27,511 with an additional 2,500 lawn seats in one end zone. It would also include 33 suites and 24 loge boxes. The proposed cost for the stadium complex is $66 million with a total project cost of $75 million."

no on gives a shite really, but there isn't going to be a conspiracy against UAB there's just a lot of apathy surrounding their program that they're not allowed to change because the powers that be don't care
Auburn fans like to take up "The Cause" because it perpetuates the false idea we put in our heads that "My team good guy their team bad guy" which isn't anything about Auburn fans, hell we all do it
None of this is personal, it's all about money at the end of the day but because it's sports we put emotions and plot into this it all

The fact that UAB trying to defend itself from having its athletics program DISMANTLED is somehow seen as an "attack on The University of Alabama" is a real problem. That's why we're in this situation. UAB simply wanting to do anything for itself is an "Attack" on UA. If you Alabama fans are seriously so blind to what is going on I don't even know what to tell you. The Alabama board is trying to destroy UAB's undergrad to funnel more undergrads to the Tuscaloosa campus. That's the entire point of what is happening right now. It may be great for your University, but will be ill gotten gains.
If the shoe were on the other foot, you would be kicking and screaming about the rampant corruption going on by the people who are supposed to be LEADING you. This is about morals and integrity. This is not about money. A lot of people at UAB care about what is going. It has been hard enough for UAB to develop a real fanbase for over a decade with this crap constantly going on, but this really takes the cake.
The 24,000 fans who have come to see UAB play every game this year care. The players care. The coaches care. The people who have given money to this program for years care. However, it's likely impossible to beat such a politically corrupt Alabama Board when 60% of the state are apathetic to corruption as long as it doesn't affect them. Step up and grow a pair.
Football and athletic programs do nothing but help a University.

No it's not. UAB is called The University of Alabama at Birmingham. You know what that means? That means it is a satellite of The University of Alabama university system, which is headquartered in Tuscaloosa. Whatever the university system's Board of Trustees says goes.
quote:

No they are not. The University of Alabama currently has a population of 31,000 undergraduates. UAB has 11,500 undergraduates, a good many of whom are studying to become doctors or dentists.

If the same thing were happening to us then we would be irrelevant and thus no one would care - much like what is going on with UAB right now.
quote:

I'll grant you the players and coaches, but the 24,000 fans? Not so much. Those "fans" go because the tickets or either free or at significantly reduced prices. If they had to pay an actual admission price, that football program would be dead already. And if the program dies...those coaches and players can go somewhere else. They'll get about the same exposure wherever that somewhere else is as they would at UAB.

Just stop. Your own link stated that football BY ITSELF returned $4.4 million.
Received $5.5million, returned $4.4million=$1.1million still owing. That is why if you look up the self sustaining athletic programs Bama is not on that list. So by some Bama fans arguments, yall shourl shutdown the Alabama athletic department.
quote:LINK
LSU, Nebraska, Ohio State, Oklahoma, Penn State, Purdue and Texas were the only schools to report no subsidy money in 2012.
Congrats on making a surplus, but maybe yall should reorganize so you don't have $5.5milllion coming from the school just to turn around and hand $4.4million back.

Well then close Tech, why does N. La need three schools within 40 miles of each other.
Id close Tech and Grambling at least the Monroe area has close to 100,000 residents and has a few more things to do.

Maybe if, you know, you actually had proof of this happening we would stop denying it.
