Las Vegas Review Journal - UAB decision on football program could affect UNLV

Excerpt:

By MARK ANDERSON
LAS VEGAS REVIEW-JOURNAL

The fight at Alabama-Birmingham rages on, with those rallying to save football at the school gaining momentum after it looked as if their battle was hopeless.

What happens at UAB will have far-reaching effects, including at UNLV.

UAB president Ray Watts decided Dec. 2 to shut down the football program, saying the university no longer could afford to subsidize two-thirds of what has been a $30 million operating budget for the athletic department. Supporters of the program have since rallied to try to bring back football, and Watts is weighing whether keeping the sport makes financial sense.

If Watts sticks with his decision to end Blazers football, such a decision would influence other schools in similar financial situations to look seriously at taking such a bold step.
