Just called and Josh who answered was very supportive. He confirmed again that their office is cataloging every call and email. I hope so.

Just got an email back from Dr Watts and my question about the School of Business not being voted upon.

Talked to Josh. Everyone please call.

Surprisingly informative....

Quote:Thank you for your response and continued feedback. Regarding the Collat School of Business, please know that the decision to postpone the presentation of the Collat School of Business proposal was made by our new Vice President for Financial Affairs & Administration, Allen Bolton, who is an alumnus of UAB’s School of Business (MBA, 1989). Mr. Bolton began serving as Vice President on October 1 and quickly recommended the postponement of two of four facility proposals because he thought that they would be better showcased by additional planning and documentation. Further, since the next meeting of the Board of Trustees will be held in Birmingham, we discussed our desire to feature the Collat facility proposal at the annual Board meeting that occurs on our campus.

Again, thank you for your email and sharing your concerns. It is helpful to hear from our supporters, like you, as we work through our comprehensive, institution-wide strategic planning process that includes the Athletic Department.

With best wishes,

Ray L. Watts, M.D.
President

Why couldn't then Watts do the same thing for football?

Meaning extend Clark's contract by 1 year, get stuff in order for February's meeting on campus?

left a message......their voice mail message ends with "Go Blazers."

It rang forever so I just hung up. I'll leave a message tomorrow...

But, if they are done for the day then either the response is already headed to press, or it is after the holiday.

It rang about 5 times or so before it asked me to leave a message.

This was around 30 minutes or so ago.

VM picked up after about 3 rings. Left a message.

I think Elvis has left the building

UAB is closed

In more ways than one.

I called around 1 and left a voice mail. I think it might actually be more impactful if they return after the holiday with a crammed voice mail box. Have yourself a couple of pre-Thanksgiving beverages and call this evening, if you didn't get the chance to earlier!
