Well, if we play our cards right, we would fall into the category of "working toward that goal," if you ask me!!

If they don't vote on it, we're done in July. We can't be members of the conference without football.

Quote:Massaro said a final decision on UAB’s future in the league probably would be made at C-USA’s spring meetings in June.
It would seem the conference has several options in regards to UAB’s fate:
•Change its bylaws to allow UAB to stay in C-USA;
•Grant a one-year probationary period to investigate options further;
•Do nothing, in which case UAB will be out of the league when the 2015-16 athletic year starts July 1.

So essentially they are giving UAB a chance to reverse the decision, even with the knowledge that UAB will not field a football team in 2015. Makes sense and gives the review group another data point that they can pretty much count on.

C-USA is basically saying that UAB needs to put a plan on the table by June. A plan to bring football back on some sort of defined time-frame. 2016 or 2017 is my guess.

I hope that CUSA officials will say those words to UAB officials and maybe even publicly: "You can stay in CUSA IF you bring back football in 2016."
