Breaking news: Governor Bentley's wife just filed for divorce...
So does anyone else think she could REALLY stick it to him and the Bama Machine by financing the Dianne Bentley UAB On-Campus Stadium with her divorce money?

What is it? Irreconcilable differences, like one is a gump fan and the other a barner?

Correction: "Reconciliation is futile..."
Sounds sort of like the Borg in Star Trek.

Sounds like he has more than 1 budget to balance now.

They separated in January so it wasn't a result of any website hack.

Perhaps she wanted to "retire back to a medical practice" in Tuscaloosa while he has in mind gearing up for a run at the U.S. Senate seat now held by Shelby - who may retire himself. If the case goes to open court, we may get to see how they have lived so well without him being paid to be governor - or a doctor.

I can't envision him having a real chance on a big ticket. He's a republican that opted to raise taxes. That's practically political suicide nowadays.
It's pretty late for a divorce so it had to be something significant, though.

RE: Breaking news: Governor Bentley's wife just filed for divorce...
This is pointless. It has nothing to do with UAB really. She has in no way affected UAB. She has never said anything in support of FreeUAB that I can find. The ONLY thing you can pull from this is how he is getting the money to pay for all this when he doesn't accept a salary for being governor. This thread is grabbing at straws hoping it leads to some corruption evidence that will involve the BOT.

As I've stated before, you can find a bunch of none UAB related articles on here and people clutch at straws to justify it (it's basketball related and we're a basketball school...blah..blah...blah). So this time, I'm not complaining.
"In today's filing, Dianne Bentley asks for the governor to pay for all debts the couple incurred during the marriage, as well as her attorney fees. She also seeks sole ownership of all property they acquired during their marriage."
I don't know what happened, BUT IT HAPPENED BIG!!!

Anything that affects the Governor affects the whole state. It seems like it probably won't have much of an effect on the UAB Football situation, but the former First Lady could take the stance that we need a safer place to play night games than Legion Field...

Granted, something big did happen. And maybe this is the first sign of a huge political downfall (though if that happened, he won't be able to support her). As of right now, the current situation has no bearing on UAB: football, soccer, archery, athletics, academics, financing, nor traffic.

She could have done that before filing for a divorce... but she didn't. She has never shown any support towards UAB nor Birmingham. I don't see that happening anytime soon. She is really big on preventing and punishing domestic violence and abusive relationships/marriages. Not quite the same field as unsafe neighborhoods. This is a personal issue with the governor. I don't see it affecting UAB, Birmingham, nor the state in any real capacity, other than taking some more time up from Bentley.

we asked Bentley for Help, he said he would then backed out.
Our nursing students were made the butt of a joke of at by him.
we are making him the butt of a joke.
This can effect how he deals with any legislation brought up concerning us depending on how remorseful he feels during his time of grief and separation.

Bentley took an extreme turn to the dark side right after he won re-election.
He was already owned by Cubby Bear.
Rumor is that it involves a mistress. (has not been confirmed though)
Wondering if it is Kay Ivey.
