Well you'll have to physically be at every game because you won't ever see it on TV again.
I don't have the luxury of living in Bham. I managed to make the trip to Legion Field for ECU to watch that catastrophe in person. However due to our TV package I saw every televised game.
In the Sunbelt, we won't have 6 games televised regionally.
Even though the BE tv deal isn't final, per espn, TV revenues may go from 750k per team to 8 million. THAT is the difference of being a have or a have not.
While our management makes sure that the UAT game is on in the Legion Field sky box during our home games, sits at the head of the BCS table, prepares for another national championship game, spends 80 million on renovations to their Saturday sanctuary...we tumble down the rabbit hole because a 4 billion dollar leg of the system drowns in its own vomit.
Everybody repeatedly kicks UAB in the balls because we continually let them do it with no fear of revolt. After the stadium debacle, there was enough evidence to make changes and they just listened to the steam run out of the tank. UAH too. #freeUAB is a memory and everybody just went back to sleep. Nothing will ever change without having a group of people in place that have the sack to carry the fight every day.
We are sleeping in the bed that we made. It's lumpy and the sheets need washed.
