Argh... So late. Trying to decide what that might mean.

How do you know this?

al-dot-com is reporting so, without attribution. Says Watts and Ingram will announce.
At the administration building. Ray Watts and ID Mark Ingram will be present.
The media people have it all over twitter now. Watts and Ingram will address the media. That makes me optimistic.

UAB: 4 p.m. press conference today to discuss the decision. Ray Watts, Mark Ingram supposed to be there.

Raises my hopes just a bit.

Ray announced to the media on Dec. 2 also.
Holding this at the Admin Building rather than at a public place is disconcerting.

I don't think he was overly fond of that experience.

Yeah, but he didn't know then what he knows now. That's why the supposed email/social media announcement make me queasy.
Sounds like a Press conference!

10:45 a.m.: UAB will hold a press conference at 4 p.m. with Ray Watts and Mark Ingram at the Administration Building. AL.com will have a livestream available at the time.

I don't think so, not with public call for people to assemble outside the admin building. He doesn't want to leave that place until it's all over.

Depending on the decision, he may have brought a sleeping bag.

Not me. From a PR perspective Watts has to do a public announcement. And Watts can say it's reinstated or the BOT did not approve reinstatement. He has a fall back now.
I imagine if its good news. Watts will make a short statement and then turn it over to Ingram to field questions.

If that is the case, it may be hard to sleep with all the yelling outside the building all night.

Because he's handled the PR perspective so well? It's pretty clear he doesn't have to do anything, hence the original plan to do an email/social media announcement.
Press Conference = Excellent for UAB football return. There would be no PC for a no decision.
I do not feel good about this at all. The fact that Ingram is willing (or being made to) stand up there gives me the only slim hope I have.
