Not having any OOC games scheduled after 2016 does seem odd in a world where other schools are announcing 2024 era games.

It's odd that the coach's contract runs out in 2016 and they don't have games scheduled beyond that.

2017 UAB Blazers Football Schedule

Rice, Marshall, UNT, all have three games scheduled for 2017. LaTech, ODU each have two. To be fair, all of those teams also show "**TENTATIVE**".

Our boosters, with the City of Birmingham, approached the administration with plans to build an indoor practice facility. The President and athletic director were not receptive to the idea and would not commit to the future of the program. So, here we are.

This page (from 2010) showed Navy as UAB's 2016 opponent.

UAB Blazers update Future Football Schedules

Navy's current schedule does not show UAB as an opponent.

I was thinking this was just something routine, like the McKinsey study at Rice.

However...

The Navy series was canceled when they joined the AAC.

Now THAT seems quite odd.

More bad news for UAB football (and Jamieson Winston too perhaps).

Since their last bowl season a decade ago they have averaged 3.4 wins per season. Most UAB alums in the state are Alabama or Auburn fans.
