Plus the sublink that the review firm found that UAB football was financially profitable... damn

" “We find that the three sports in question did not cost the university anywhere near the $3.75 million indicated on UAB’s accounting statements,” the pair wrote. “Instead, after making the sort of adjustments suggested by the economics literature, we conclude that the three sports were effectively break-even to slightly positive. Football and bowling showed a modest positive return for 2013-14, the last year for which complete data was available. Rifle showed a deficit, but the three-sport balance was positive to the tune of $75,000.” "

Living in Birmingham, this thing is still being talked about a pretty good bit.

The fact that a [deleted] like Ray Watts is still in charge of the university is proof that this was a hatchet job performed to curry favor with one Paul Bryant Jr... I have no doubt that Watts will eventually leave UAB and go on to a cushy position at Bryant Bank as his 'thanks' for screwing over UAB.

Imagine if the TCU board got to decide if SMU could hire Larry Brown. The Roll Tide board sabotaged their program and now everyone knows it.

I feel bad for them. When we played in the Compsss Bowl they were such great hosts, very friendly people.

That is awesome. Nothing but respect for their players and fans.
