And in the meantime their recruiting would get destroyed, much like it did for Towson baseball.

Eh, this is worse. They literally have to start from scratch. All they have now is a head coach fighting for and hoping they bring it back. The assistants and players are all gone. They will essentially be a start-up. If it does happen, hopefully it will be in a new stadium and out from under the UA BOT. Otherwise, they will be doomed to fail.

I think Watts and the BOT will keep with their decision and UAB will go to the MVC (they are already talking). And their tourney win over Iowa State may make that sell easier. CUSA would be down to 13 teams. And with the Hawaii situation probably making an opening in the MWC, it will be 12 once UTEP bolts.

Word from my friends who live in Alabama is that the University will continue to railroad any efforts to restart UAB football.
