Why do the UA alumni even care? It really doesn't hurt them in any way, shape, or form.

Wow, just wow..

I am so glad I no longer live in Alabama.

UAB folks - you can either quit or go after Alabama. You're not going to get anywhere otherwise. No avoiding it.

Because #FreeUAB is challenging the status quo. The Machine doesn't like anyone or anything interfering with their power.

Wow

Be careful down there. I hear there's been folk out in the woods erecting crosses.

Man do those letters speak of the Old boy network or what.

Alabama Alums must be proud.

This Alabama alum is certainly not proud of what has been going on. Of course I don't work for Bryant Bank or Protective Life, so my $0.02 isn't even with $0.02 to them.

UAT is a cult in Alabama.

Especially amongst voters who have never attended uat or any other school of higher learning or high school for that matter.
it is the fat pig on the front tit. I doubt uab succeeds at getting bot representation or football back.
for those of you who live elsewhere this is absolutely the truth.

I wish I had compiled the various stories of insane behavior of Bama fans that have made the rounds. One common thread. None attended the school even though most attended some other college.

Let me say that I don't want the University of Alabama as a whole to be painted as the bad guy, it's the people who are overseeing the three universities in the system that are the bad guys. I know plenty of UA students and Alumni who thinks what is happening to UAB is wrong and unjust.

Yes. The actual alumni know the Trustees have badly mismanaged the Tuscaloosa campus, too.

Unfortunately, those people don't matter.

UAT is "Revenge of the Nerds", except Alpha Beta wins in the UAT case.

The only way UAT changes is if there is enough splatter hitting things that matter to them to give them absolutely no choice but to change things.

I don't know if these ladies have done anything shady but even being associated with Watts right now is damaging.

Open letters and votes of no confidence mean nothing.

Plus the uab response is not very well thought out. Politics in the Board of trustees. Lol. No lie. Has been that way forever
Pitting n campuses against each other. Duh. Forever also. Good to point that one out too considering uab has a weak hand here.

UAB wasting money on football is false? ; derp

The uab response outlines every reason to support the UAT position

Yall gonna lose this battle. Dumb

This whole thing is just weird. Only in Alabamer, I guess?

Classic case of perpetual struggles between haves and have-nots.

Let me put a racial spin on this

black enrollment at UAT 12%
black enrollment at UAB 26%
black enrollment at USA 21%
black population of alabama 26.6%


Just as a comparison
Liberty University has 18% black enrollment, thats right Jerry Falwells university has a 50% higher percentage of black enrollment than University of Alabama.

The only reason UAB doesnt have football is because they dont have an independent bot. Their attendance numbers were good this past year mid range of c-usa.
