If fan support was one of the top factors..as it seems. Then UAB sure wouldn't be anywhere close to the top. Neither would they be if winning and facilities mattered. So what does that leave? Let me see...long time conference member with S. Miss

BTW, to most people, outside of the schools that are good in the sport. Baseball adds very little value to a conference.

Where did I say anything about UAB? I didn't. Simply responded to that "21" championships claim WKU fans keep using, tabulated using Tuscaloosa math.

Our football offices and practice facilities are brand new, Bartow Arena is quite nice, baseball plays large number of games at the great Barons baseball park, soccer field is new. Legion Field is ancient but one of the dwindling knocks against our facilities.

We ranked in the top half of attendance for the most recent seasons we participated in football and basketball. There is certainly work to be done to make sure football support maintains.

Isnt Birmingham also one of the best markets for college sports in the country, routinely among the top 10 cities nationwide getting the highest TV ratings?
