It freezes current membership rules, avoiding potential future legal and political trouble. We don't want them to miss out on that fun (besides the spite, and I don't discount the spite factor, anything that opens Board rules to public scrutiny has to be counted as a Good Thing).

Also on the ballot, Sneering John Merrill, blood enemy of UAB football and its on-campus stadium, is up for re-election against Heather Milam. Her full, married name is Heather Milam Nikolic.

To quote Sneering John, "Apparently UAB football is not very important to very many people in our state." He needs to feel the dragon's wrath.

Otherwise, Walt Maddox is well-known for his UAB love; JeffCo Sheriff Mike Hale is an alum and a Blazer fanatic.

I have been trying to get clarification on the age limit portion of this amendment.

I will vote no regardless.

But didn't an amendment back in 2016 remove age limits across the board? I think Joe Espy would have had to step down in 2017 based on the age limit. I believe his and Finis' 3rd terms end in 2019. Been counting down the days to get those two clowns off the board.

Expect another salvo from the Finis camp before he checks out.

The good thing is that even if Bryant is put back on the board, too much light was shed on them before and it will be difficult for them to be openly against UAB. I would have much rather had Maddox as governor. Ivey is a puppet.
