Where did you get this UAB Budget number from. That would suggest that UAB has a budget that is
4 times larger than the University of Alabama....? It may be possible with a Medical School. I believe the UVA numbers (at the bottom) are only Academic.
"University of Alabama plans budget of $785 million for 2015"

It would also mean that UAB's budget is just below the combined budget of every public University in the state of Virginia (16 Schools and the Community College System $892,849,131 ).
**see below...... $4.1 Billion if you remove the Community College System from the total, it would be less than UAB's budget
The total budget of all the public Universities in Virginia with the CCS is $4,172,369,827 (Billion), if you minus the Community College System total of (-) $892,849,131 budget it equals $3,278,520,696 (Billion), less than UAB's budget ($3.4 billion...your number)
