Quote:"We looked at some other options, but as (UAB athletic director) Brian (Mackin) and I talked about, it just makes sense and we are glad that we can continue it. Certainly we want to try and bring the best competition into Troy so that we drive attendance, drive interest and increase season ticket sales."
We're the best competition they can bring into Troy?
Oh my.

If UAB is not a significantly better visiting opponent by 2015, then BOTH schools may be in trouble.

because it is always ill advised to sign long term contracts. Things may change. It'll be continued but in 2017 the entire landscape of college athletics could be different.
Either that or we'll be shutting down the program in 2017.

LOL. It's like shooting ducks on the water. You're at least supposed to stand up in the blind and yell "Shoo!" before you open up on them.
