Women's sports would suffer mightily if the 80+ plus men's football scholarships went away. Oh, and by the way, UAB Women's softball IS A THREAT to the Tide's program! Go Blazer WSB!

The coaches and Mackin may already know the exciting times ahead will involve a new era in athletics. A good era.

Women's sports and the band would be gutted like a trout.

Strong, passionate, courageous, non-compromising...Not as long as these bastards are in power, but if a significant change is effected, and UAB could get some equal representation, she'd have my vote faster than you can say "Go Blazers" if I had any say in the matter.

Marla Townsend would make a great AD. She has a GREAT reputation in the community and is a real competitor and LEADER.

This.
