This sucks. Think this could've been our fate. That is pretty much no campus life and weakens alumnus return.

Stillman is in Tusc go figure - somewhere I'm sure Jr/BOT is involved

Horrible for the athletes but a different situation from ours. Stillman only has just under 1,000 students.

I wonder if they have any quality players that might like to come to UAB without having to sit out a year ( like our guys did after last Dec 4 )

It sucks for the kids and fans, but it's the right move. The school is under 1,000 students, a private HBCU and extremely strapped for money. IIRC they already cut some sports or maybe only played a conference schedule? I don't remember. The last time I saw the Stillman campus it was depressing how poor in condition most of the buildings are. They need some help and good leadership.

Corruption is going to be the death of Stillman. Theyve gone from over 2,000 students a few years ago to only 916 today. Stillman football also wasnt well supported sadly. Their issue is bigger than athletics, Stillman's issue now is keeping the doors open.

They can likely go anywhere without sitting out
