RE: $615k for BOT Commercial?
This is a major, major find if true. And it does look legit.
That total also includes $10K to troll social media sites, and $10K to pervert google searches from "negative earned media" (what the rest of the world calls "the truth") to UAB Forward.

If this is true we must separate because their vision of the university is no where near what the students, alumni, and community vision.

Dates match the BOT campaign; Campaign for UAB rolled out months earlier. Twitter account that posted them also says it is emphatically not Campaign for UAB.
Fees include $25,000 for strategy advice. And they call football a waste of money.

One would think that the Campaign for UAB ads were paid for a while back to have a certain number of ads on per day, etc over the time period.
The only way you would see a new expense for the Campaign would be if the BOT decided that with all of this bad publicity that more spots were needed.
Looks like though they diverted some funds to help prop up Watts & the BOT after their criminal acts.

I hope it IS for the BOT commercials. Then it DOES lend to our argument and shows how wasteful they are.
What is the source of this information? Where was it gathered, and who gathered it?

It anyone know Viking Blazer it would be helpful to have a complete copy of the letter from Direct Communications posted. Looks like he has that.
Scarbinsky would like it too.

RE: $615k for BOT Commercial?
Strange how the money flows when it is about the BOT covering their azzes. Paying administrators not to administrate, athletic directors not to direct athletics, coaches not to coach, athletes not to play, cancelling football contracts, paying PR agencies, buying TV commercials, hiring securtiy details, paying Ray Watts 300K more than CG, and on and on and on.
...but we can't afford to break even on football. Riiight.
Good gosh, any fair-minded person would admit that something has to change.

$615,000.00 is chicken feed compared to $88,000,000.00 the BOT approved for "refinancing" Tuscaloosa campus outstanding debt of ten times that amount, in April.

But they represent us so using the expenditure is valid (where's the blue font when you need it)

The masters don't want the extension center in Birmingham to have athletics of any kind.

Is there something wrong with the links? All I'm getting is "Sorry, that page does not exist."
They worked last night. They must have been taken down.
The Twitter links were taken down by the owner, but stay tuned.....
