What am I missing?
Falwell U is pretty much the antithesis of everything UAB stands for: we are an institution of science and reason, and one committed to diversity. The first is a source of great pride for us, the second, just look at any #FreeUAB gathering and it was obvious that we're a Dr. Seuss rainbow of shapes, colors and sizes. We are the future. They cling to a past that never was.
I despise everything for which they stand. I am deeply disappointed in Fumbles for making this deal - and he's already working from a pretty low standard. This is not an institution with which I want UAB associated in any way, shape or form.
We're a consistent top 10 university in diversity. Liberty ranks #1,326. Here's the photo off their diversity page - they have to hold the one black chick in a headlock to keep her from escaping back to UVA:
All that said:
Fumbles has already struck, doing what he does best (that is, fumble). Boycotting season tickets over this will not change the contract, and will not change the money paid to Falwell U (the cash is going to come from somewhere, like those other home games if no one buys tix for the Liberty game).
I will buy my tickets, and I may choose to use the opportunity to vent my feelings regarding Falwell Jr and his sham "university."
