Universities Are the Key Ingredient to 21st-Century Urban Success
Birmingham can end-up like Detroit or Pittsburg. Having a world class and complete (including football) university in the urban core is important for making Birmingham a successful 21st century city and more like a Pittsburg. If UAB becomes just a medical school the happens to have some undergraduate programs Birmingham is on the path of becoming a Detroit.
Slate has a slightly old article, but it does a good job outline the importance of a university to a post-industrial city.
