I'm having problems with the link. So I don't know what I'm supposed to be looking at or sharing.

RE: Saving UAB Football is not just about saving UAB Football
I was very impressed by the effects the article attributes to athletic success. Unfortunately, if one reads that article as if seeing it through the eyes of the system BOT honchos, it likely proves exactly why they are trying to destroy the UAB Athletic programs, particularly football. It scares them to death.
I have noted before that the BOT has always attacked UAB football when it seemed to be upward bound. When two UAB football players were going to be drafted in the first round on Saturday, we got "Black Friday". When UAB got to its first bowl game, they followed that by interfering with the coaching succession. When UAB got financial backing for an OCS, they removed it from their agenda. Now when UAB improves from 5-19 to 6-6 (almost 7-5), they move to kill the program.
If there is a single driving force for decisions in Alabama political history, it is FEAR. The BOT is reacting in that time honored way by being "sore afraid" of the potential of being outstripped in this century by UAB and reacts like the state's powerful always have. KILL! KILL! KILL!

UAB has put together one heck of a case for the reinstatement of football. Great job by all involved.
