In the spring of 2015 UAB WAS OUT OF C-USA. All UAB had to do was tip its hat to the conference, wink and smile for them and walk out the door closing it behind us. We would have been an independent school able to join whatever conference's invitation we wished to accept It was UAB's plea for forbearance over the termination of our football program that caused the conference to give the Blazers two nonplaying seasons to get back on the field. I'm sure there are C-USA members who remember that year.

That was then and that was necessity of the time. That period is over and has nothing to do with the future. UAB has to look out for UAB's best possible situation and C-USA is no longer it. If you don't think that each and every one of the 13 schools wouldn't stab us in the back to get a leg up, you are sadly mistaken.

So we beat them to it? Just for the record, what conferences have been banging on Mark Ingram's AD door enticing UAB to jump from C-USA to their loving embrace?

As Jeff Foxworthy says "When your girlfriend says 'We need to see other people, chances are she has already cut one out of the herd'" UAB had better know where they will land before they jump from a pretty good airplane. We don't have Gene Bartow around to use his considerable reputation to get us into another conference like he did getting UAB into C-USA.
