According to AAC Commish "some" AAC school will be leaving. When I hear some, I think of at least 3. If 3 teams leave and Memphis/Cincy are in that group then UAB will have a very good chance. Because as much as this will be a football move, there is not a great deal of difference between UAB and the others... If it was about the quality of current team, then USM would have gotten in over Tulane last time. it's about market and investment. When you add the Birmingham is a football market and we have an $40 million investment and a BJCC Authority who can vouch that a stadium will be here by the '19 season. It make UAB just as attractive as Tulane was when they were invited. Plus the recent academic rankings. Will we get the nod? I don't know, but with Hatton leading the charge you best believe that we will have as good a shot as anyone.
