Mr Filler, like many of us, are concerned that we will go through this all over again in 5 years. $7.5 million plus the support we have now and the earlier plan and box sales with the stadium is more than enough to go ahead. But again, we are stuck fighting Watts.

Jimmy Filler’s pledge of $7.5 M to #FreeUAB needs perspective. Largest single donation to Gators’ football during Tebow heyday was $7 M.

Watts must commit restore football and then work to get the on campus stadium approved and underway.

He must commit??? He doesn't seem to think so. Something tells me Watts would be fired before he reinstates football.
