This will be interesting.

Has anyone filed FOIA requests for President Watts emails? Those are a matter of public record.

This and any communication between the board and UAB.

Now he just needs a count of all the people who get waved around the turnstiles...

Bet the servers went out and the emails have been lost.

Yep I linked the page to file a request in a new thread. This is how UNC's multi decade academic scandal got brought to light, and it was NC State fans that actually made it happen. The dirt is there and by law you have access to it.

Could there be a record of the rumored teleconference vote? This will prove it was actually not Ray Watts' decision like he claims.

Seems it took months for access to Bill Clark's contract after FOI request...

If there was a vote you have a right to the minutes, and if it happened and they didn't include it in the minutes that's against the law. File FOIA requests for every piece of communication between UAB and the board, for minutes of all board meetings, for all of Watts communications. There is a damning email, memo, or something that will come out if you do. Those old bastards screwed up somewhere and you can find it if you dig.

I'd like to see the ones for the entire Alabama A&M game, not just 5 minutes into the first quarter.

Kyle Whitmire and Kevin Scarbinsky both say they are working on information requests regarding the BOT and Watts.

I think if someone does a full board expose, not just football, but of the interlocked corruption there, it could be a sexy enough Steph to get a Pulitzer mention or two

Not gonna be able to find the burner phones.

These are old guys whose power has been unchallenged for years. They are used to buying off or intimidating anyone that looks at them. They will have left some loose ends or things that they didn't realize were in there even if they try to launder records.

Exactly. I bet these guys left a lot of goodies out there to be found.

I thought the count from the Marshall game was way to low. Attendance was almost double what was reported.

I thought Marshall should have been around 30,000 so about right but the A&M game was WAAAAY low, in my opinion. A&M brought nearly as many as UAB.

We may have had three crowds over 30K. At least two.

Yep. Troy and Alabama A&M I think were easily over 30,000. Marshall probably was as well.
