No one said that the Board wasn't interfering. Just that no one affiliated with UAB said that it would be a "distraction" to have it at Bartow.

My guess is that Karle heard it but could not document it.

Strong responsible journalism.

I guess they wont have to worry about long waits in the beer lines this time.

Has anyone heard how much UAB made from the first fight?

Wasn't there a Garth Brooks concert going on at the BJCC at the same time as the last fight?

That's probably the reason Bartow was used in the first place, so it is unlikely that Bartow would be picked over the BJCC regardless of what the BOT did or did not permit.

Legal Blazer DOES have a good point. A 15k arena makes more sense than a 9k arena, especially since this one has less competition and will probably be an even BIGGER draw than 6/13/15!

Per Drew Champion aol.com

asked a source that and I was told that the PBC people wanted a bigger venue. Specifically asked about BOT and he said it wasn't the case. Then again, different people have probably heard different things.

I'd have thought Bartow would be better for a fall fight because you risk fighting the football stay-at-home crowd, and BJCC for this past summer one, but logistics have weird ways of working out

So, the BoT Athletic Committee Cabal was down at UAB for a different reason. Hmmmmm? Any guesses as to why? Strategy meeting with Ray Ray maybe? We've got to be vigilant or these rats with shut us down again!

Who said they were at UAB? You guys are making up a lot of stuff just out of thin air.

That's what the tweets were indicating yesterday. There was a picture of a couple of UAB cop cars along with the comment. I'll delete my comment if I learn otherwise.

They were at UAB. It was Joe Espy and Finis St John.

It's not unusual for board members to visit campuses. That said when a snake is in your back yard your guard is up.

You've been really disconnected from the news pipeline lately.

Why do you think they would have to meet face to face to shut us down again?

When it's a poisonous snake ( or 2 ) , you would be wise to do more than just keep your guard up.
