I believe that's a fantastic way to put it. That stated, I'd not want USA to be a member of C-USA without UAB in it anyway.

From every post I've seen there is nothing but repulsion for what the BOT did and angst for UAB.

"You see all of us Sun Belt posters here...we know what the score is. UAB was shut down under false pretenses. It's a travesty that should keep us all on our toes because god knows when that hammer could come down on our heads. We aren't dancing on anyone's graves.

Thanks for cherry picking the quote.

From every post I've seen there is nothing but repulsion for what the BOT did and angst for UAB. Any conference realignment/replacement has been started by media source, not the SBC board. Yeah, it's reported there but that's how forums work.

Personally, I come over here 3/4 times a week to see what is happening with the situation and if there is anything I can pull to post on the SBC forum or Facebook to expose the BOT.

I'd also like to see the full "4th Down" documentary when it's released, so I'll be waiting/for that.

It's truly appalling....
I suppose my words/sympathies are no match for what CUSA has had for UAB but I'm just out of words to describe the despicable act.

Most every P5 school has had to deal with artificial road blocks erected by the power school or schools of their state. But a wrecking ball is a new trick.

Ich bin ein UABer

Strip away all the fluff and platitudes, only thing left is "we want your spot at the table".

So you have a problem with pragmatism? You want me to sugar coat it more than I already have?

Hey get out our seat and move back to your Sunbelt Table. And take usmjghbe or what ever his name is with you.

And don't let the door hit your ass on the way out.

Well, looks like you're off the hook.
